The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

Abandoned column-type cleaning in a private house in favor of BB20. The columns themselves are expensive, and the service is not for the lazy and also costs money. Not so terrible water in the central water supply turned out to be. Hardness 5.6 - tolerable, pouring salt is still that hemorrhagic. The main problem was turbidity, iron 0.67 mg/l (0.3 normal) and sulfides. Sulfides can only be dealt with by reverse osmosis for drinking. Turbidity cleans mechanics and coal. And iron, as experience…

Pros
  • Does the job, saves a lot of space

Very effective at reducing iron

Our fountain contains some iron so yellow stains will appear on the lines over time. We installed a Pentek filter and this cartridge is very effective in reducing small amounts of iron so we no longer have the problem of piping discoloration. Depending on your water usage, it will take around 6-9 months to replace and it's worth it to avoid iron damage. We also installed a large Pentek particulate filter in front of the iron filter to increase service life. Now our water is crystal clear.

Pros
  • Testers give high marks for hold and durability
Cons
  • Long lasting

Excellent performance changing under sink water filters

I have 1.5 ppm iron in my well water, mostly ferrous or pure iron, causing orange stains all over my bathtub, shower curtains, dishwasher and other appliances leaves. I also had strong manganese, magnesium, ca, silica, sodium, occasional odor (hydrogen sulfide?) and an unpleasant metallic taste in the water. I installed a 20" 5 micron sediment filter, this iron filter and a 20" carbon filter in series and I'm honestly blown away by the improvement in my water quality. No more smells, stains or…

HOLY SHIT - HOW IT CAN GET! HOW. CAN EXCHANGE 4 PACKS AT $52.25 FOR ONE UNIT AT $81.43! THAT'S RIDICULOUS ! We use these filters on all of our filtration systems in both our homes [home and rental] due to well water and terrible rust and mineral issues. WE CANNOT ACCESS! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE PRICE COULD CHANGE SO MUCH TO $273.47! Below you will find our previous prices. IncReturn window closed on October 8, 2018 $52.25

The PERFECT filter for my crappy water!

This filter changed my life! We live in an area with crappy water that is high in iron. I sometimes have trouble washing white clothes because our water leaves iron stains on them. I had suggested another filter from my "Aquarius" but it just didn't work. I installed this Pentek 155263, RFFE20-BB Radial Flow Iron Recovery Cartridge and in MINUTES my water is cleaner and cleaner! I can wash whites without stains, and the handmade soaps we use no longer leave sticky suds on bathtubs and sinks. I…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Was damaged

Great filter: kitchen and bathroom accessories

After 2 years of trying to improve the water quality. It finally made it. It really works. I started with a water softener which helped a little but the water still had an odor. So I installed a hard carbon filter after the softener. It helped some but the hot water still had an odor. The next change was to replace the sacrificial wand in the water heater with a powered titanium wand. I still had a slight odor so I put a chlorinator in front of the fabric softener. Because of this, there was so

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

I downgraded my overall rating due to the dramatic price change.

I buy these about every six months and they really help reduce iron; I use it before the brine/resin filter. I was about to order another one and saw that the price had gone up from $76.03 in December 2017 to $100.66, a 33% increase! I don't understand Revain's pricing policy. Prices sometimes change right before our eyes. It would be helpful to rate purchases in two ways: by product and performance, and how Revain handles sales, returns, pricing, etc. This filter has five stars, but I…

  • Heavy Duty Finish

  • No

Great filter. Paired with Pentek DGD 5005.

This is a great filter for removing diluted iron from well water. It also removes hydrogen sulfide. It must be paired with a DGD 5005 filter capable of removing iron particles and other debris. We use these two filters in a downhole system and install the DGD 5005 and RFFE20-BB after the accumulator but before the water heater - the installation order is accumulator, then DGD-5005, then RFFE20-BB, then water heater. In our setup, these filters remove approximately 4ppm of iron from the water…

Pros
  • Good Work
Cons
  • Fine
