I have a strong sulphur odor in my cold water(on a well). Will your filter remove this?

It does appear to remove sulphur, but our levels may not be the same as yours. This is a very easy and simple filter to install and change. I would not recommend as a replacement for a salt-based system, but rather as a secondary filter.

We have well water and it works great. Just remember to take it apart and clean it before putting it away for the winter.

I never use the filters and it doesn't cause a problem. I change the water daily so there's no issue with odor or smell. I disassemble and clean the device about every two weeks.

Yes without a doubt. Please make sure the ash is cold. You may or may not have to clean the filter afterwards.

The instructions say cold water but water does not remove acid. it needs to be neutralized then removed. i have no idea why they recommend water over a proper neutralizer.......

Our water has rust, lime and sulfur smell. These filters weren't any better than any other of the filters I've used. I got about a month out of each filter.

This used happened to me when using well water. You want to try using a filter for your faucet. it may help.

If the smell only starts when you turn on the water it could be coming from the water sourcce, especially if it is a well. Our well puts out a sulfur (rotten egg) smell once in a while. Its better after shock treatment of well with chlorine but still smell it now and then. It seems to be caused by hydrogen sulfide gas produced by bacteria that live in the water system. We removed the anodes in our hot water heater too which has helped as the bacteria like to live on these but it voids your warranty so make sure you check with professional first.

I don't know. I like mine. I can smell the chlorine in the water again when it's time to change the filter.

i do not have that problem. its only for cold water. my problem with this filter is, it don't last the way it used to to about 4 to 6 months.in my case, the last few filters lasted only about 6 to 8 weeks and the flow becomes very slow and restricted inspite of having the samesource of city water.

Remove would not be the correct description. It will reduce dissolved minerals in the 70 to 95% range. So if you start with very high dissolved solids for example and iron sulfide is one of the dissolved salts there will still be some left. That said, when you smell iron you are really smelling H2S being liberated by iron reducing bacteria in the water supply system. The carbon filter in this device will remove that to below detection level.

This is all I have used and I will say that I get more life out of it that it claims and our well water is loaded with very fine sand or filings and it has a very bad sulfur smell but this filter took care of the problem. It has worked better than any other I have tried so far from either HomeDepot, Lowes and Tractor Supply also sells the big filters. Try one and you will see how good it works.

No. I use a charcoal filter. It removes almost all the chlorine , no taste or smell in the filtered water. I change it every six months.

only if u filter it through a water filtering system to get rid of the chem in it. Check out u tube video on water filtering systems.

Interesting. My filter unscrews quite easily. Perhaps give it a better tug. Good luck.

I have no idea, but the filter removes calcium, which is why I put it in front of my on demand water heater, to protect the coils. I have both a sediment filter (by the well) and this filter on the hot water line. They serve different purposes. But I am dealing with a fair amount of sediment, since I have well water.

hi, there is no filter in the unit. you will need to install a filter between the cold water line and the unit. good luck!
