ECP1-20BB amazing

I have well water with very high iron content (read dirty rust, like a strong smell). I use a 1 micron ECP1-20BB filter and it removes almost all dirt to the point where I actually drink it and make coffee with it. The only real downside is that I use it for about 4-6 weeks before the filter starts to clog and the water pressure drops, but that's to be expected from a disposable filter. It's usually still cheaper than what I would have to pay for municipal water.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Great price

Works well for municipal water

I installed a dual municipal water filter in my home. I didn't want fabric softener as I don't like the added wasted water and the feel in the shower. This helped remove the iron in the water which turned white surfaces red (toilets, showers, sinks). etc.) It wasn't that things were dirty, only things were stained with iron. Photo effects and filter settings. These are 2 BB-20 filter housings with pleated paper, then a carbon filter to clean water of other "things".

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Not suitable for high sediment applications

I have horrible well water, full of iron sediment and very rich in minerals. I bought this as a pre-filter for a Pentek DGD-2501-20 hoping it would last longer between replacements. This paper filter lasted less than half an hour before it completely clogged. In contrast, the DGD-2501-20 lasts up to three months on its own. I have tried another filament wound pre-filter, Hydronix SWC-45-2050, and it has been running for two months with no noticeable drop in flow. Maybe a paper filter will work…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Poor instructions
