Whole House water filters for wine

[vacuumpumpman]

The center post was added to draw the wine from the bottom of the filter so you don't leave a filter full behind. I find it works fine to just turn the filter upside down. I don't have mine mounted and just do it by hand. If I mounted it I'd probably rig up something that I could turn right side up for filtering and upside down at the end.

I agree ^ with Greg

There has been some updates on which housings and the correct filters you should be using

Yes. Pay attention to the filters. I used the wrong ones with the plastic inside and damaged two filter housings. I have the correct filters now.

Steve,
How do you prepare the filter cartridges prior to filtering wine? The instructions for water suggest you run several gallons of water thru them before using them. Then since we are filtering wine I guess a sulfite flush is in order, please fill me in on the process.

Yes I soak it in a sulfite solution - and then walk outside and do a overarm swing to get most all the solution out of the filter. I also make sure that the cartridge including all the lines are sanitized also
