does this fit a 4.5 x 10" filter? If so why is it not stated on the product as most of your customers would rather use a larger filter & replace less

It takes a 2.5x10 to be replaced every 6 months.

As I understand it the Post-Filter in the whole house diagram is a 5 micron filtration?

you can get different filter cartridges to fit this filter holder. cartridges sold separately

Does anyone know who sells the mounting brackets that fit this PRE system?

Check on Amazon or Home Depot but it's hard to find without the housing..

Can this be use as the pre-filter and the post filter? Also can this all be mounted outside?

Sure why not. Your question doesn’t say anything about pre and post what. I would venture to guess that you have some other kind of water treatment equipment between the two so maybe you would put different filter media in the post filter to further improve water quality. There are many kinds of filters you might use inside the canister .

Affordable replacement

Worked as expected! Replaced 5-year-old system that had cracked.

Well made and durable

Nice, heavy plastic, I painted it black to keep the UV from destroying the plastic quite so soon as the filter is outside in the sun.

Works great as a shower filter!

Used it for shower filter. Works great! Paired it with CTO10-KDF 10x2.5 filter. Only needs two fitting adapters, 3/4 male to 1/2 female & 3/4 to 1/2 male.
