Review on 🚰 Enhanced Filtration with iSpring F3 Replacement Cartridges by Justin Guldin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not all filters are the same

We have well water at home, and unfiltered it smells of sulphur. When we moved in, the drinking water was "softened water" which was then filtered through a reverse osmosis system. RO is great for filtration, but we wanted to avoid the waste water associated with reverse osmosis systems (3-4 gallons are wasted for every 1 gallon of clean water produced). If you've ever brewed coffee with reverse osmosis water, then you know how awful it tastes! I bought a new 10 inch three stage water filter housing and these filters. these iSpring F3 filters. I have not used a water softener and have run our drinking water through these filters. The water was amazing. After 2 months I noticed the sulfur smell returning. At a risk I took the unnamed filters that came with the water filter housing and it made no difference, the water still smelled awful. I bought bottled water and met Revain Prime. I ordered another set of iSpring F3 filters and put them in the filter housing, drained the water to clear the lines and I was back to clean, odorless water. The filter here is a carbon block filter since the unnamed filter looked exactly the same. I like the charcoal block on the outside, but when I looked inside the filter I found charcoal in a mesh bag (sneaky). bill" because I'm not paying for the well water.

Pros
  • Replacement water filter
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
