Tell you the truth I haven't needed to put in on yet, but soon. For the price it better work real good.
Collected by Trustpilot.comGood filter, works well taking out all the necessary stuff out of the water. I,ve been using them for a long time and they are made the same way and do the same great job of filtering the water. I use two of these, one before my water conditioner and the second after the water conditioner. I am on " city water" in Hernando County FL.
Collected by Trustpilot.comExcellent plus the service is second to none!
Collected by Trustpilot.comI found a cheaper filter online comparable to the Pentek filter boy was that a mistake didn’t come close to taking out all the stuff in the water. I’m back using the Pentek filter cheaper isn’t always better I found out
Collected by Trustpilot.comWorks exactly as specified. Auto shipment a plus.

Collected by FiltersFast.comI have been using this filter for almost a year and have been happy with it's performance. I have a well so there is no chlorine issue but it does a good job of removing rust and rotten egg odor. I am not sure how many gals before each filter change, I just change it when I notice a drop in water pressure which is about every 4 months.
Collected by FiltersFast.comthis filter seems to be the best i have used for my whole house system. priced a little high for only 5k gal. use, but it works for me. It does reduce bad taste and odor from chlorine and other chemicals in my drinking water and i have been using it exclusively for about ten years with no problems..
