Water filters in horizontal position, it is OK?

Mounting filters in a horizontal position.

Will they work or is this wishful thinking?

Thanks

    Why not?
  • And after you drink a big glass of it; you will feel thirsty!
  • It will work fine. The only problem is you get OH2 from the faucet instead of H2O. Just drink with opposite hand and you will not notice any difference.
  • As mentioned , no problem except for when you change the filter cartridge. :)

  • Yes, the water is under pressure and will push it through no matter what position. My inside filter is vertical but the one outside lays on its side along side my MH and works just fine. That filter is sealed off at both ends so the water goes and come out the proper places.
