A problem area on all washing machines is the need to clean the inlet valve screen containing sediment build-up. As this screen gets contaminated, the flow of cold water slows, adding time to the wash cycle and distorting the water temperature. In extreme cases, the sediment gets trapped between the solenoid, water continues to flow and flooding occurs. This inlet screen should be cleaned every 3-12 months for homeowners with well water. This screen is located behind the machine at the base of the water line and requires the machine to be pulled out, hoses disconnected, the screen carefully removed and cleaned. Refer to your owner's manual for cleaning instructions.
This inline water filter is composed of a precisely designed mold of polypropylene material with a 5 stage graduating dead end filtration process, trapping 98% of solids, 25 micron and above. Tested and approved by an independent certified lab, Research & Analytical Laboratories, Kernersville, NC.

How do you install the 85470 washing machine filter?
- If the water is slow due to your inlet valve being clogged from sediment, you will need to clean the screen before installing the washing machine filter.
- See your owner's manual for cleaning instructions. The washing machine filter will eliminate future buildup on the screen.
- Disconnect the hose from the faucet on the initial installation. Attach the filter directly to the cold or hot water faucet and attach the hose, as pictured on the package.
- When you first install the filter or replace the cartridge, turn off the water faucets and turn on the washing machine for a minute. This drains the water out of the lines and eliminates the clean up.
- When changing the cartridge, unscrew the middle of the filter housing, remove the old, replace with the new and screw back together. It's very easy and simple to change.

Collected by Trustpilot.comFantastic!!!!
Collected by Trustpilot.comThis filter system has changed my life. I'm not on well water, but a recent installation of new plumbing pipes in my home resulted in a fine silt that would gather on my washer's filter every 90 days. I grown weary of having to go through the hassle of manually cleaning it evey 3 months. Out of sheer frustration, I Googled, 'washing machine hose filters' hoping that there was such a thing. In 5 seconds, this site's link came up and my problem was solved. A miracle. Than you FiltersFast for this innovative, simple and completely effective solution to my problem!
Collected by FiltersFast.comI have used these for several years and as long as I am on well water will continue to do so. It is easy to change the filter. I would like a Stainless Metal Housing but I do find it is a reasonable price for the quality. Filters Fast offers quick and reliable service. I am glad I found them.
Collected by FiltersFast.comI too had great difficulty with my cold water flow. I was told that the sediment would do damage to part of my washing machine. I am so grateful that I found this miracle product which has lasted for 3 months as promised. I enjoy doing my wash in a timely manner now.
Collected by FiltersFast.comLike Kathleen, we are on well water. I had to clean the washing machine filter, that came with the washing machine, after 3 washes or suffer from slow moving water. I purchased the Washing Machine Filter a month ago and have not had any problems with it. The water in our washing machine is still running like it did the first time we used the Washing Machine Filter.
Collected by FiltersFast.comI can not tell you what a difference this filter has made. Living in the county on a well has made the last 15 years of doing laundry a slow process because of trickling water in the washer. The filter was installed about a month ago and still is doing well but starting to slow just a bit so I am going ahead and ordering the replacement filters for it. This will so much simplier than dragging the whole washer out and having to clean the screen in the back.
