Leader Pumps FA5 Clear Filter Housing - 5-in - Transparent - 1-in Female Thread

See Filter Clogging Before Flow Drops - 5-in Transparent Housing

A clogged filter restricts flow to irrigation lines and hydroponic systems, and an opaque housing hides the problem until performance suffers. The Leader Pumps FA5 uses a transparent container, so you can check the clogging level by eye and replace or clean the cartridge when it is actually needed. Its couplings use brass inserts and the blow-off valve is brass.

This single housing suits growers who want a visible, easy-to-service filtration point on a water line, from a small home setup to a larger cultivation room that runs a filter on a feed line. It is sold each, and the filter is sold separately.

Key Features & Benefits

• Transparent container — lets you judge filter clogging without opening the housing.
• 1-in female-thread couplings with brass inserts — give a durable threaded connection to your plumbing.
• Brass blow-off valve — lets you flush the housing during servicing.
• 1 to 30 GPM operating range — covers a wide span of flow rates.
• 116 PSI maximum operating pressure — sets a clear limit for system design.

Who Should Use Leader Pumps FA5 Clear Filter Housing

Use it if you run irrigation or hydroponic water lines and want to monitor filter condition visually. It fits growers who service filters on a schedule driven by what they see rather than a guess.
