Great filter for a fraction of the cost.

Just installed this cartridge. I use it as a filter for the water heater. If you recently purchased and installed one of these hybrid heat pump water heaters ($900), you can protect your investment with a particulate filter to extend the life of your water heater. It seems to work. Revain was priced much better than GE's Home Depot brand. The quality is the same or better. The Culligan R50-BBSA Level-1 and Culligan CP5-BBS Level 4 cartridges are good replacements for the GE FXHSC.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Great filter for plumbing and plumbing jobs

While not recommended for untreated well water I find this filter very effective. We had no problems. They remove much more sediment than the R50 BBSA filter (50 microns). Before switching, the car wash left a noticeable haze at the finish. With her help, this haze almost disappeared. Our well feeds two houses, lawns, gardens and up to 300 head of cattle, so it's being charged. We use two, connected in parallel, and it takes about 6 weeks to replace them. Once they start to clog, the flow rateโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Hard to tell

No ailing filter

I always buy these for our home filter system. We have water from a private well that contains a ton of iron. Revain has one of the best prices for this particular filter that I have found and I am always very happy with the delivery and speed of delivery. Probably because my water is high in iron, but this filter never lasts as long as it's supposed to. I usually change it around every 5-6 weeks when they are estimated to be around 12. I change it more often otherwise I see very little residue

Pros
  • Keeping my fists
Cons
  • Nervous

Pleasantly Surprised

I can't say I've noticed much of a difference in the water after replacing the 50 micron filter with this one because I don't have a major sediment problem. But I'm glad the flow rate in the house doesn't seem to be any different. It's been installed for about 2 months now. I don't expect it to last as long as the 50's version, but if my water is cleaner then it's worth it. UPDATE September 17, 2010 I learned something the hard way - CHANGE THE FILTER REGULARLY! I waited for the flow rate toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost OK

Mist System Filter

I purchased this product in May 2013 to filter very fine debris from my well which I use for my agricultural mist system. At the same time, we also use it for water consumption, so it is important to remove limescale, sludge and dirt. Because the spray nozzles I use are very sensitive to debris larger than 10 microns, I used a Culligan CP5-BBS Level 4 Heavy Duty cartridge enclosed in a heavy duty 1" Culligan HD-950A inlet/outlet filter. Filter housing because it filters down to 5 microns. Since

Pros
  • Kitchen and Bathroom Accessories
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other scrubbers

NOT THAT PERFORMANCE

The original CP5 BBS cellulose cartridges that I have previously purchased and used have worked well in our "big blue" whole house filter housing. They kept their shape and prevented the formation of sediment at the water outlet. Current filter cartridges don't have this feature and Culligan seems to be aware of that. If you read the current manufacturer's label, it states that the cartridge is NOT recommended for use with untreated well water. It also says that the filter cartridges areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Replacement Water Filter
Cons
  • Something else

works great, it's amazing what it catches

I am very happy with these filters, they work great. I set them up as subscribe and keep so I get one automatically in the mail every 3 months so I never have to think about when to replace it. In the summer, when I start the sprinklers and fill the pool, I switch it to every other month. Our water here in the southwest suburbs of Chicago is very hard and the filter seems to be picking up some of it. We see fewer mineral deposits in the dishwasher as an advantage. I also noticed that theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • tools and housewares
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
