🏠 Home Master CFF25 Activated Carbon Filter - Set of 10 Replacements Review

I have been buying this product for over 3 years and I think my water is clean, safe and great. Tastier than tap water, but only because it softens tap water. I recently bought a water meter and the pollutants were off the charts, just below what is considered dangerous to drink and not to pass through. I am so disappointed! Now I'm looking for something better. In the meantime, my family drinks bottled water.

Although I've only been using it for 1 day, so far I'm satisfied. It fits perfectly in my 10" case. The first few gallons of water that came out were gross, but they cleared up. I have this on my fridge's water line and am happy with the water performance. Built-in fridge filters were expensive and not very effective.This gives the water the same pleasant taste that can be achieved in a filter housing.Very pure and neutral taste but with the preservation of natural minerals.This is a good…

Will never go back to jug filters after use. It's in the Home Master filter above the sink - I don't remember the model number. After shopping online, this is one of the cheapest replacement filters and will last a long time. Tastes so much better than any other filter I've tried except reverse osmosis (can't install it in my apartment) And very few filters actually remove fluoride like this one. Installation was a problem because the Home Main Unit was bolted on so tightly that I couldn't open

What a joke. Shame about this company. I was so pissed that I accidentally bought an almost exact filter 2 months in advance because I missed a letter. CFF25-10 clearly does not filter metals. CFF2E-10 does. Both filters have the same purple color and the difference is a letter/number. Such a different filter shouldn't look or sound the same as a lower quality filter. To be honest, this worst should be stopped. The number one reason people buy water filters is to reduce metal levels! They buy…

Shown at left is filtered water; on the right is tap water, filtered water has a strange yellow tint. And yes, I installed it correctly, and yes, I let it run for 5 minutes after installing it. Back to my old brand. Update - after the support reply I let it run much longer - 15 minutes and it finally cleared up. I know another reviewer said it should face down and it wouldn't work if the inlet/outlet is up, but I called support (very helpful) and they confirmed it doesn't matter which way it…

Okay, there are a lot of reviews on this thing. Here's my attempt to dispel the confusion. This is a 10 inch cartridge filter with a gasket on one end and an inlet on the other. Unlike traditional pleated filters, water does not enter the housing and then through and then out again. Instead, it flows from the unsealed end to the sealed end and then out. This gives the water more time to filter as it flows the full length of the cartridge. So far, so good. And now the most interesting. The…

Tastes very strange and worse, water smells like bleach! I am now afraid to drink more from this system. I give this filtered water to all my pets, cats and birds. Why on earth do I smell such a strong smell of bleach coming from the water? TO UPDATE. After getting another one, the water tasted better. But here comes a new problem. I have a liter water jug that I keep in the fridge for drinking cold water and upon closer inspection I noticed that the entire bottom was covered in orange…

Unfortunately the instructions for this thing are a bit misleading and perfectwater.com is listing the wrong information. The manual is listed under Tap Master Jr F2 and I suspect that's why there are negative reviews about bad tasting water after changing the filter. There is an arrow on the replacement filter that says 'This side is up in my opinion which means the arrow needs to be up when the unit is running and the 'cap' is the body that you screw onto the base . After a failed filter…

years old so I will share the reasons I use this filter system. City water connects to the body's iodine receptors. That alone was enough to get me off tap water, but I needed something better to remove fluoride like Home Master claims to do with chlorine and other chemicals. bought spring water to avoid chemicals that could kill my little ones. While I didn't notice the chlorine smell in the Home Master filtered water, I've gradually switched to it for her and now use it exclusively, adding my
