does this filter remove sulfur smell

Absolutely. Our water has a high sulfur content and this system removes the smell completely.

I do not feel any smell. Water is good. However, I am not sure that the source water had a sulfur smell to start with, it may not. So, the exact answer is "I do not know".

This filter is for "particulates" i.e. particles. In other words, DUST.It does not filter vapors i.e. GAS. You need a gas filter to filter out vapor/gas. The charcoal in these filters helps to eliminate odors and that makes working in smelly environments more comfortable; however, it does not actually filter out any vapors or gases--it just reduces the smell.

No, no filters needed. I suspect it would be enough if you have normal air issues. Stinky dog, frequently used cat box, not so much.

No, I haven't noticed any odor. How long have you been using it? Have you ever cleaned the filter? Sometimes mold can build up in the tank itself. I had that happen with my old dehumidifier. I used to clean it out with a diluted bleach solution to remove any mold build up. Hope this helps! Let me know if it doesn't,,,I will be on the lookout for that happening in mine. Good Luck J. Young!

No not that I know of. I had it installed by a professional but I didn't see any filter.

I don't have odors. I have a problem with humidity that is high and creates spoilage. Will this reduce humidity nicely? I bought a filter but int only lasted 3 months and the humidity came back. It's winger and there is no way for me to dry out this reusable filter.

I got a new 403 6 months ago and it had charcoal. I didn't open it up to see, but you could smell it when first starting with the new filter. The smell went away in a few hours as the instructions said it would.

No it only kills bacteria, the sulfur is probably caused by high iron content.

Sulfur odor in household potable water most often comes from dissolved hydrogen sulfide gas, which is often encountered in relatively shallow groundwater wells and cannot be removed by a particulate filter like this. If you have a significant hydrogen sulfide problem to deal with, you'd need a install hydrogen sulfide removal system, which is a relatively expensive and complex mechanical/plumbing device.

Yes. There is a filter needed and an indicator that will let you know when it needs to be replaced. I've had mine for almost 2 months and have not needed to replace the filter. It works amazing. Has completely removed the cat liter odor.

It's too big for a sink. Don't know about eliminating odors but it does have charcoal in the filter.

If the smell is from chlorine, yes. We installed the Filtrete filter to improve the taste and in hopes that the all but invisible black substance that accumulated in our drains from the faucets would be removed. After about two months, I no longer had to clean the faucet filters or the drains. Excellent product.

No, but I only used it one season and then never bothered with it again. Next year's tag sale item! I thought it was too big, and the filter never really seemed to need cleaning. I bought it to remove particulate matter - smoke - that might get into the house from using the fireplace in the winter, but I don't think it's really made for that.

The sulfur smell is subtle and you will only notice it when you activate the soap and apply it. I have not noticed a lingering smell in the bathroom at all, but someone who is super sensitive to scents...might. If you were to get this soap on your clothes, the scent is subtle and I presume you would only detect it if you put your nose right up close. For me personally, I only notice the scent when the soap is activated.

Filter has carbon to help reduce odors. Works very well and removes the strongest cooking odors with ease.

no, but we had problems with the small holes in the filter part. It would only run 15 min and stop till it was cleaned. that's every 15 min. we had to take the filter out.

Absolutely. I actually had to stop using it due to the horrible smell. This occurred about 6 months after I purchased the unit. I even had washed out the " lifetime filter" , but it has continued shortly after. Was thinking to purchase a new filter and see if that helps. :(
