Fittings Have Changed
I was replacing an existing filter that was supposedly the same filter. The input fitting changed from the existing one. Even though there were 2 options, neither matched the old one plus the old one was just an input line while the new one was a 'T' with a shutoff. On the old one the shutoff had been on the filter unit itself. The old one had a 1/4" line with a compression fitting.
