Product Description
Whirlpool — Whole Home Central Water Filtration System Never Replace A Water Filter Again The Whirlpool Central Water Filtration System utilizes a special sediment screen to remove contaminants from your water. It works together with a media bed to filter particles to 40 microns — half the diameter of human hair. The internal sediment screen flushes automatically every 14 days and the sediments will wash away with the water while it drains. Certified to Reduce Contaminants The National Sanitation Federation (NSF) has determined a standard for products that are made to produce better home water. The WHELJ1 Central Water Filtration System was tested and passed, earning its NSF Certified label. This certification proves the system reduces dangerous contaminants that are commonly found in home water such as sediment and chemicals that cause foul chlorine taste and odor. What’s Included? The WHELJ1 system comes complete with a bypass valve, drain hose, 3 clips (1 spare), 2 hose clamps, adapter elbow and a grommet. High-flow valve maintains great water pressure (connects to up to 1” plumbing). The installation manual is also included in your purchase.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It comes with excellent, clear instructions, a bypass valve connection, and requires a drain for its periodic self-cleaning feature. By default, it will flush out any sediment and other buildup every two weeks at 1AM. You can change the time and frequency of the cleaning cycle. Because it is self-cleaning, it is maintenance free. It is designed to last about 10 years for whole home central water filtering. Take the cost of this over ten years, and add to that the fact that there are no filters to buy or change over the life of the product, and you find that this is a reasonably priced solution.
I highly recommend this product and will buy a new one the next time we have to move. It's that good!

I also bought the "Whirlpool WHES40E 40,000 Grain Softener | Salt & Water Saving Technology | NSF Certified | Automatic Whole House Soft Water Regeneration" to go along with it.
To be clear, there is no lifetime product, eventually the "self cleaning" system, which uses valves, will fail, and the filter will eventually become clogged. I was able to deep clean the filter by dismantling it twice, but the leaking valves caused me to eventually replace the filter. If you have less sediment that could be decades away.
As a replacement incredible easy to install, although the new unit looked identical it was 1/2 inch taller so I did have to move the bracket up, but the whole install was less than 15 minutes. If this is a new installation you will need a plumber unless you are comfortable with plumbing in 3/4 or 1 inch pipes.
The control unit simply plugs in and in 15+ years no issues with it. You can control how often it self cleans, the default is 7 days and for me I had to slowly increase the frequency as the years went by ending up with a daily clean. The new unit is back to 7 days, so yes they eventually will clog up. I also noticed an immediate improvement in water taste with the new unit.
Overall I would highly recommend this filter. 5 stars!
