## Overview

The Tuf-Tite EF-4 Residential Series Effluent Filter is a high-performance septic filter designed to remove solids as small as 1/16 inch, supporting up to 800 gallons per day. Made from durable polypropylene in the USA, it features a patented design that ensures a secure fit and extends the life of your septic system. NSF certified and easy to maintain, this filter is a trusted choice for homeowners aiming to prevent costly backups and system failures.

## Description

The filter is rated at 800 GPD. The EF-4 Series is protected by U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,319,403; D,431,629; and other Patents Pending.

Review: It fit. Looks like it will work - Some people said the half-ring flange at the bottom made installation impossible. Other people said it's important for the function and to not cut it off. So I used one blade of my scissors to cut it into 1/2" segments and gently bent it upward. It was a very snug fit in the pipe but went right in. It will be interesting in a few months to pull it out and see how much debris it caught, and it will be a good gauge of how often I'll need to clean it. I hear 1 year is standard, but I'll check a lot sooner to see how things are going.
Review: Works great - I replace my filter every time I have my septic pumped. This one works great and I no longer have to worry about a clogged filter backing the septic up into the house.
