Great
Does it affect taste?
Filtering will not effect the taste of the wine, if this were the cases wineries would not filter their wines. We only filter whites, fruit wines and ciders.
As far as the All In One Wine Pump, the pump is worth every penny!
Part of what you get is the quality, I've been using mine for 4 years without any issues, and I use it a lot! Not only do I rack, filter and bottle wine, I use it for my beer as well. The pump comes as a complete ready to use pump, no need to have to figure out what else you'll need to set up a pump.
The owner, Steve, will help you with any questions that you may have. I feel like I should mention the warranty, but in the 4 yrs that I've had mine, I haven't heard anyone complain about their All In One Wine Pump.

I'm not helping anyone make sales, I'm recommending a product that has worked very well for me, and hundreds of others.
The original poster, like you, can buy anything from anywhere you want, I take offense to your sounds "self serving" comment, I try to help anyone that I can, but apparently you feel the need to try to discredit what I'm posting, maybe I should have written "with the filtering systems that most home wine makers use you will not taste a difference when filtering"...does that pass your specifications?
I'm curious, just where did you learn so much about me that you can make this claim?you have a very narrow lane of experiences
I'm not even sure what "all butt hurt" means, but I'm sure that you have a wide lane of experiences in it, no need to bring any studies supporting this.No need to get all butt hurt over it
I can appreciate the way you try to spin your words, but saying that it's wonderful that I'm helping a friend make sales followed by "in my own opinion, sounds self serving" doesn't make it a compliment.in my own opinion, sounds self serving.
No, I'm good, I'm fairly certain that you'll try to find every variation of any answer that i'll give.Time to pull up the big boy pants my friend and join the debate.
Has any used Pentek filter to filter wine?
Any good?
I am thinking about pentek filter or getting a pump with plate filters. What do you think?
To say that your wine does not change flavor with filtering is fine as you are the only one to try and verify this. At winery's, filtering is done with whites a lot, reds, not so much.
There really is no debate to be had in all of this, thousands of tests, papers, studies and closed panel tastings have been performed since filtering was invented and the conclusions have never changed. The findings have always been that you will change the flavor but not only will it change the flavor but even within the different filtering types, the character notes will change.
This is a snip from the results of the sensorial analysis of the Merlot wine filtering using three different filtering systems. One is the Dynamos system in the attached video.
Taylo most resembles the filtering we do at home due to the 10" housings and round filters, it also has the most effect on all properties of marked typical indicators such as red fruits, floral fragrance, violet, structure, typicality, pleasantness, delicacy, colour intensity.
Again, not a real debate since science has already spoken.

Firewalker...that video clip was about as worthless as tits on a boar hog. Do you have one in English? However, I do see how it supports your statement about changing the flavor of the wine...I could plainly see that! Filter this "mud" and now it looks like something decent to drink and yeah, I bet it did change the flavor and made it better! But, I do travel in a very narrow lane myself.
Wait, are you two dating? Ever notice how tense people get when there is a truth that they wish to dismiss? Narrow lanes, wide lanes, filter or not, what do I care?
Cheers all!
Your "truth", not a universal truth.

Come on Firewalker, chill out. Did you not notice the little smiley face? it was put there to convey a light-hearted note! I just don't speak French, nor read it well either....hence, it was not very useful to me with my limited education. Not meant to be a rock thrown in your direction.
Most of here do live in a very narrow lane...my "winery" is the corner of my desk...it's a plastic bucket. We don't use 10" hoses and fittings, heck we could not even begin to fill the hoses up! You scale is simply mind boggling to most of us. I can not afford to spent thousands on industrial grade pumps and filters...heck most of my gear was bought second hand off Craigslist.
I do like hearing about your commercial set ups! I do a fair amount of work at that little brewery in Shiner Texas. Love walking around and looking at 30' tall vessels that do the same thing as my 5 gallon plastic bucket. It boggles the mind.
Breathe deep, relax, turn the fire down. Emails and forum comments are flat, and often times read in completely different tones than they were written in. Smile more.
regarding potential changes of taste when using a filter;
I read that many wineries use filters so it probably doesnt change taste. But whats more interesting is that there is something called bottle shock. I dont know what happens when wine get bottle shock, but its likely that wine will experience bottle shock effect when being filtered, meaning that the changes of taste will be gone after 1-2 weeks.
i will try finding an inexpensive 0.5 micron filter. I got a 1 micron filter from Enolmatic but its expensive.
