Comment on Is this a good full home water filter? by cincykt

Check out the link below. This is what I have and love it. I pulled the filter part out, ran water with food coloring in it through this filter and my Brita. This water came out 100% clear, whereas the Brita did nothing.

Contact me for more info.

That’s not a water filter…it’s only a water softener…big difference.

I would not take any chances and discard the filter. It is almost shot anyway. It is not worth risking the device for the price. Once mold grows in the device it will be no good anymore.

Comment on I need a water filter for my kitchen, but it will sit unused for several weeks.? by M M

I have a PUR undersink unit which is a dandy. The filter will not be affected. I have a vacation condo and the association recommends that we shut-off the water inlet, set the water heater to it’s lowest setting when leaving. When we arrive, we run all of the taps for a couple minutes, including the water filter to remove built-up hydrogen gases, minerals that leech from the pipes etc. We also run a couple of fills from the icemaker.

Comment on why do i need to replace the filter in my water filter? surely it will go on working if i dont? by Thor

Store bought filters contain activated charcoal that absorb chemicals like chlorine, fluorine, and others. Once the charcoal has absorbed all it can it is done. It no longer works.

One other reason, told to me by someone that sells filters, is that there are anaerobic bacteria that will live on charcoal. Since the charcoal removes the chlorine that would normally kill it. Thus an old filter can grow stuff.

But monthly sounds excessive. I know most people only change a filter for refrigerator a few times a year if that.

If this is a whole home filter for a well that is different.

Good Luck.

In addition to the anti microbe additive expiring in your store bought water filter, every filter, air, water, fuel, oil, beer, all of them, will continue to fill those gaps until the liquid flow is stopped. Every filter needs to be changed or cleaned eventually unless there is a back flow feature in the system. The reason an engine oil filter quits cleaning is because when it plugs a by pass opens and lets the oil continue to flow, dirt and all.
