Question 1

Is it easy to remove? the whole assembly i mean. i'm concerned if i give it a try and the tab snaps into place i won't be able to remove it.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's easy.  Twist, and the inner (green) filter comes up.  Pull, and the entire assembly (green inner, and white outer) comes out.

Question 2

Is this filter sized to insert into a 3" pipe or 4" pipe?

Accepted Answer

This filter fits into a 4 inch pipe.  And it snaps in snuggly.  The filter itself is only about 3 inches, but the top part snaps into a 4 inch pipe and stays there.  You can then turn the handle and remove the filter from the top piece, but it stays put.  You need a 4 inch pipe for this to work.

Question 3

Can you put a pipe on it so you can remove it and put it in ? What the out side dimension as thin pipe and sch 40 different .

Accepted Answer

Yes, I made an extension and a tee handle out of 3/4" schedule 40 PVC. A couple of notes;  PVC 3/4" schedule 40 pipe will fit into the top of the filter where the filter handle is located.  I believed normal PVC glue would not secure the PVC onto the filter.  So I drilled a hole in the PVC and utilized a stainless steel bolt & nut with flat washers on each side to secure it to the filter.  I used stainless steel so it would not corrode. The filter does not simply lift in and out.  When inserted it is twisted to lock into place.  So I used a PVC Tee to make a tee handle on the end of the extension to aid in twisting the filter into and out of the lock position.

Question 4

I have the yellow tuff-tite unit.  will this drop into the same standard outlet tee, or do i need a special extra-long outlet tee for it?

Accepted Answer

If you have a newer tank I would think that it would drop right in. If you have something older,or not to code,then some type of modification may be necassary
