Home Master CFF25-10 Jr F2 Replacement Fluoride Filter, Fits Standard 10” Housings, Multi-Stage, Sediment, Activated Alumina, GAC Activated Coconut Shell Carbon Medias, Compression Disks,1 Count

I absolutely love this! Makes ordinary tap water taste fresher and cleaner. Easy to connect to the sink faucet. The replacement filter slips in and out with ease. It's just the two of us, so I only need to change it every three or four months. I do use it for drinking water and all cooking that requires water (think pasta or rice). Side note - this is perfect if you make your own water kefir or kombucha as regular tap water is harmful for both and you won't need to be buying filtered water at the store. This does a wonderful job of filtering out unwanted chemicals. If you want really clean drinking water this is for you.

Although I've only been using it for 1 day, I'm pleased so far. It fit into my 10" housing perfectly. The first few liters of water that came out were gross, but it cleared up.I have this on my refrigerator water line and I'm pleased with the water coming out. The built-in fridge filters were expensive and not very effective. This gets the water taste about as good as you can get in a single housing filter. Very clean and neutral tasting, but retaining the natural minerals. It's a good alternative to a full RO setup for those with otherwise decent quality tap water.

I purchased this filter as I already had a similar housing for this type of filter, a Watts model maybe (The housing says "Filtramax" on bottom of base). I only have this one stage filter for my drinking water, would like to get a three or four stage filtration system as finances allow. By itself, with this filter, the water tastes better than it did with previous filter, previous filter was not as good as this as far as removing flouride. Purchased another.Perhaps due to this flouride filter, I've been having, and better remembering, my lucid dreams. Still need to cut GMO crap like pizzas from my diet..This flouride filter fit well inside the Filtramax housing. The previous filter had a rubber o-ring at each end, and i had to keep one or both in there to make this new filter fit in tightly. For the first minute the water comes out gray, it states in instructions to let it run for a few minutes, or a few gallons, cannot remember details but one should always read instructions first!

Ok, reviews for this thing are all over the place. Here's my attempt to cut through the confusion.It's a ten inch cartridge filter, with a gasket at one end, and an inlet port at the other.Unlike ordinary pleated filters, the water doesn't pass into the housing, then through the pleating, then out the exit. Instead, it flows from the ungasketed end to the gasketed end, then out. This gives the water more filter time as it passes lengthwise through the whole cartridge.So far, so good. Now for the interesting stuff.Installation should be with the rubber gasket pointed at the inlet/outlet side of the filter holder so the filtered water can exit, NOT at the end of the bell housing.Here's the IMPORTANT caveat I discovered: you may want to invert your filter assembly if it's a typical whole house filter!In the original application, the black end faced down, apparently. And, apparently it matters.The carbon and the white parts of this filter are simply loose powder. Installed black side up, when water flows it raises the contents and when it quits they sink again. In effect, you fluff the whole filter every time you turn the water flow on and off. This effect is magnified by pressure. We kept getting a white cloud every time the faucet was opened and the filter gradually mixed black and white parts together.Solution: Flip the whole filter housing so the black part points down, as well as at the end of the housing that has the fittings.Installed with gravity on your side, as in black down, bell housing up, water pressure simply packs the filter material into place. Shortly, the filter settles and does its job.Hope this is helpful!

I don't have overwhelming evidence that these filters that I've been buying for nearly 3 years are effective, so I'll mention the points of why I use this filtering system instead.I had been using a well-known "pitcher system" which requires buying filter after filter until I discovered that fluoride, which is a common additive in "town" water, plugs itself into the body's receptors meant for iodine. That alone was enough to warrant avoiding municipal water but I needed something better to remove the fluoride as Home Master purports to do along with chlorine and other chemicals.Since I use water kefir "grains" (assorted beneficial bacteria) to make my own probiotic I was buying spring water to avoid the chemicals that might kill my little guys. Even though I noticed no chlorine odor from Home Master-filtered water I made the switch to it for them gradually and now use it exclusively and add my own beneficial minerals instead. The fact that my little guys are doing just fine tells me that the filter is doing its job and I have the peace of mind that I've eliminated dangerous bromines from my water. Proof of the latter is that I no longer have an iodine-deficiency disease.I started with a counter top filter and then switched to an under-counter mount using their kit, along with a small stainless steel faucet in the hole in the sink provided for a sprayer, and couldn't be happier. I've improved the quality of my drinking and cooking water, no longer have to keep multiple filters on hand, and the little faucet at the sink is very convenient and much nicer than a bulky pitcher.

This filter works great to give you water that is overdosed with chemicals and especially fluoride. Your water will no longer have a taste that shouldn't be there. Very easy to install. Depending on how much water you run through the filter will determine when the cartridge needs to be replaced. You will definitely know by the taste of your water. I recommend this filter for home use.

1in st time I tried using this filter it didn't work. Had a few drops of black water come out and that was it. Even tried reversing the filter to see if I had installed incorrectly but still didn't work. Put in a different brand flouride filter and voila it worked fine.I think there's a manufactering defect that's clogging it up. Hopefully they can get it resolved since it was a good price compared to the others.

Haven't tested it with strips but other reviewers have.I live where water is high in flouride and chlorine. Water comes out tasting clean. Food tastes better. I cook with only this water. It's far cheaper than ordering bottles of water. Plus that stuff is in plastic. Price isn't bad for every 3-4 months I guess. They also have this same one at the Home Depot.. though I buy it on amazon. Water pressure is good. I don't have problem with slow water, that would drive me nuts. Water comes out quick!

Great filter! Have tried a few others in the past and this has been the best tasting.

This is a quality product. It is easy to change out the filters and this one really delivers the taste of fresh, clean water. I would recommend Home Master filters to everyone.

way better than bottled water, or straight-from-tap water. One you use this, there is no turning back to the other - but then why would you. This filtered water is way better for your health

We live in the country and have a cistern so have to haul water in. It's still city water and not the softest. Without the filter I found it had a chemical taste. This filter makes it taste so nice and clean and my coffee machine goes much longer without having buildup when using the filtered water.

Great value and great product.
