Looking for replacement Filters for Nova whole house water systems

[karostay]

Where can one find filters fort the Nova whole house filter system
Time to change mine thought I would do it myself

[champion6]

Call Nova 631-338-1048. You can purchase and self-install or have them install. Isn't there a label with a phone number on your unit?

[karostay]

I have that info but researching other options

[retiredguy123]

Have you tried Amazon.com? They sell almost everything.

Get them from him. I found identical filters (same numbers as on his wrapper) on Amazon from a 3rd party seller and eBay (new from national seller) and saved maybe $5 in the end. If you are looking for something other than exactly what he supplies that's another story. Best way is call him. He will drop them off at your house or install them for a fee.

I'm moving my entire Nova System to a better spot next week. Fingers crossed. My Confidence level is high now. I'm on a hot streak of good results on several projects. I'm sticking with the Nova Filters for sure.

Check out the website filtersfast.com. I have bought filters from them in the past for my whole house filter system up north (not a Nova system) and found them to be good quality at a very reasonable price.

I'm sticking with the Nova Filters for sure. I did the same thing a month or so ago. It was at ground level and impossible for me to change the filters so with a 12" x 30" piece of plywood, $6 worth of glue and $5 worth of pipe and elbows raised it 4 feet higher. Easy peasy.

I get my replacement filters from Amazon. The brand is pentek. The plastic wrench makes it easy to remove and replace the blue canisters. Along the line I also picked up some spare "o" rings and a food grade gasket sealer. Very easy to do. Don't forget to turn off the incoming water before hand and then purge the lines afterward. PM me if you want part #'s.

Like most things, Filtersfast filters are also sold on Amazon.com. I would compare the prices on both web sites and I would prefer to deal with Amazon because of their great shipping and return polices.

I would call Nova and have them do the replacement. That way they will check that everything is working properly. Worth the few dollars more. I don't change my oil in my car anymore either.

These were the 3 filters supplied from NOVA when I installed replacements myself. Found them on Amazon and the Carbon on eBay (see attached) but only saved around $5. Sealer and wrench are most important.


edit: Weird. My originals were both "correct side up". Turn your monitor on it's side and upside down. :D

Why give Amazon your money rather than a tried and tested local company, selling top of the range products, just to save a few dollars at best, when there is also a chance of a leak or wrong product?
Crazy!!!
False economy.

Geez man, RELAX! Had you actually read the entire thread (including my post #5 on the first page) maybe you'd have replied differently.

Aside from that I bought the IDENTICAL filters (manufacturer and part number as in my photo) that Nova supplied and am quite capable of installing them myself without leaking. If I can install water heaters, gas lines and copper plumbing I am sure I can handle spinning a couple filters. As far as "false economy" feel free do do what you can afford to do and I will take care of what my "real economy" can handle.

EXACTLY what I was going to say!

[Bay Kid]

Do you call a plumber to change your refrigerator filter?:boom:

Not exactly the same thing. I watch Nova do my change after 12 months of use. Yes I could do this, but there is more than screwing on a filter.

[karostay]

Thanks for all the reply's
Some helpful ,Some entertaining ,Some just villagers

First of all we do not have a nova filter system.

My experience is with the refrigerator and ac filters. I buy both of them mail order. It is not only less expensive but I do not need to go to a store, wait on line and pay tax. Yes, I'm sure we all report and pay the tax as you are supposed to.

I buy only the original brand name filters. Many mail order and retail locations are selling what they call generic filters. HUM claimed as good as-are they? A friend, I did not see it, claims he purchased an off brand Sanyo refrigerator filter and it broke his refrigerator. His fault? Filter fault? It was his repair bill-of that I am sure.

Also, perhaps of interest, I've read there are,"knock off," filters made in China that are exact copies of the original. Only difference is weight. When was the last time you weighed a refrigerator filter? If, you do,did, are they both real or both fake

You call some guy to replace a filter that you can learn to do yourself. My view, the first time it will take me longer than, the,
"expert." The second time, I will be either a tie or faster than the, "expert." Not one person mentioned waiting for him/her to arrive. I'll be there mon between 9 and 5. OOPS I got tied up,
be there Thurs next week.

I agree. But, for me, the satisfaction of doing it myself and gaining knowledge I didn't have before is the most important part. Way better than having someone come to my house to do something as simple as replacing a filter. I would feel inadequate.

Honestly the thought of going with another source for Nova Style Filters crossed my mind but I wanna support people who hustle and show up on time and do what they are supposed to do when they are supposed to do it. Great Guys. Viva La Nova Company.

[tag460]

I use to change them myself but now I let Nova come to the house. They only charge $40.00 for a house call and the filters are the same price when I went and picked them up.

[Garywt]

If you call Nova I think it is $80 or so for the filters and $125 for the filters and install.

[My NOVA system (whole house filters, water softener, and RO (reverse osmosis) for the refrigerator installed Jan 2019 by NOVA]

June 6, I called NOVA with a concern about my RO system performance. They came out later that afternoon. (Wow! same day response - awesome.) My RO storage tank had failed - NOVA replaced it (no charge). They also checked my entire system to make sure everything was working properly.

Excellent customer service and support. Thanks NOVA.
