I've been using this specific filter for several years but bought from a competitor. I am pleased with Filter's Fast's pricing and prompt delivery. I will definitely be ordering more in the future.
Collected by Trustpilot.comWorks great for iron to take it out but it's too expensive Can get it cheaper in my hometown
Collected by Trustpilot.comWorks well. Too expensive.
Collected by Trustpilot.comThe Pentek RFFE20-BB 155263-43 Radial Flow Iron Reduction filter cartridge does a great job reducing our high-iron-content well-water and is the most effective iron reduction filter that I have found and used after using many different variations.
Collected by Trustpilot.comJust installed two days ago, noticeable difference in water taste and feel.
Collected by Trustpilot.comQuality is excellent but availability poor!! Had to find an alternative this Spring…
Collected by Trustpilot.comI would rate it if I ever received it. Ordered and paid for it in March. Still waiting for it
Collected by Trustpilot.comI have extremely hard water, lots of iron in the well water. YELLOW WATER! and it smells bad. This filter takes most of the iron out so it isn't yellow, or smells. I change it every 6 months.
Collected by Trustpilot.comGreat filter
Collected by Trustpilot.comReceived product as ordered. I have used this iron filter previously with excellent results.
Collected by Trustpilot.comBeen using this product for over 20 years. Do not buy a cheaper product.
Collected by Trustpilot.comGood all around
Collected by Trustpilot.comWill give better review after I see how it performs!
Collected by Trustpilot.comI am using a Big Blue Dual 20 filter. I was getting toilet and tub rust stains with a sediment and carbon filters. I replaced the sediment filter with this Iron reduction filter. Immediately the metallic smell in the water disappeared and it tasted better. After two weeks now, I have not seen any trace of the rust stains. If the filter last for a few months, and only time will tell, then this is definately an outstanding product.
Collected by FiltersFast.comI have very hard water with Iron and methane gas. I use a sanitizer water softener that also removes Iron. After softening, the water still had .5ppm of Iron a strong metallic smell, and left black and brown stains in the toilet, tub and shower. I tried several types of Pentek filters and worked my way up to the RFFE20-BB - Radial Flow Iron Reduction Filter. This is the best filter I have ever used. The water is softer and there is no trace of a metallic smell. The fixtures have been cleaned and after 3 weeks of use no stains!
