[MBZ] OT Got my washer filter installed

Allan, I thank you and my septic system thanks you. I installed mine by standing a 2X4 behind the washer that was long enough to mount the filter above the wall drain. This shifts the weight to the floor, I attached the 2X4 to the wall with a couple of screws. This is really a great addition
