![]() Bruce - Henderson/Las Vegas, NV Original filters for the NutriFlow systems cost $75, but NFLI went out of business. I ordered two of the CB3's, and was blown-away by the quality of the water! If you still have any Nutrition For Life HL-250 or HL-300 filtration units, you can now replace the old blue KDF filters for half the original cost of replacement when NFLI was in their heyday, and get the most-amazing water quality that would've made both Bertram and Mitcham green with envy!! THANK YOU! |
![]() Bryan - Detroit, MI Stenn from Baltimore is right when he says to not wait for the flow rate to decrease before changing the filter, but you shouldn't use the same filter for 3 years! Carbon block filters remove chlorine taste and odor far longer than they remove lead, chemicals, MTBE, and other nasty contaminants. After several years, the filter may still be removing 95% of the chlorine, but little or none of the other contaminants, most of which you can't taste or smell. Also, after 6 months, no matter how many gallons have gone through the filter, 'bacteria farming' starts to occur. Before 6 months, the cartridge looks relatively clean, but after 6 months, pink stuff starts to grow on it. So, carbon block filters should be changed every 6 months or sooner, period. By the way, I've never used this particular filter cartridge, but based on the performance data, it's one of the best carbon blocks on the market. |
![]() Daryl - SW Arkansas The filters received are original Omni filters. Delivery was excellent and the filters were the best price found anywhere. |
![]() Stenn - DC/Baltimore area I've used these for years, and wouldn't consider being without it, after moving up from the 1-micron powdered carbon filter (which was fine too) when I found these carbon-blocks on sale for $27!!..I bought 3 of them. But you can't listen to the '3-6 months' estimate, and on city water don't wait for the flow to slow down as the sign you need to change it, I've been using the same one for almost 3 years, and the taste is just now starting to change, telling it needs to be changed, but flow is still full-strength. So even at $36 it's well worth it, considering how long they last. The difference making coffee with and without carbon filtering is like gourmet and military coffee! :) |
