Home Master CFF2E-10 Jr Elite Replacement Fluoride Filter, Fits standard 10” housings, 5-stages, Activated Alumina, Catalytic & Activated Coconutshell carbons, KDF85 heavy metals filtration media

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.

This is the upgraded filter to the other CFF25 model. I've used both but use this one for every day use ( I keep the cheaper CFF25 to use for filling water storage containers during hurricane season). This filter works well and I often filter it again when I fill my water filter pitcher ( Waterdrop Elfin) to make sure it's extra pure. When changing filters, the instructions say to run 5 gallons through the system before using but I've found that even at 5 straight gallons some discoloration still occurs. So here's what I do: Turn on the filter and allow the charcoal debris to run clear. Then: I SLOWLY run 3 gallons ( 12 16oz jars) then wait at least 10 minutes and run another gallon ( 4 jars) and then wait another 10 mins or more and run the final gallon through the system. This usually clears the water but just beware that when the filter is brand new, it may take running it for a few seconds before filling your glass to clear the light tan color. It's not as if it's toxic- just doesn't always look crystal clear right after those first 5 gallons. Highly recommend these filters. NOTE: One time I received a filter that was difficult to clear and it had orange particulate matter in the water. I contacted the company directly and they immediately shipped out a new filter at no charge. They explained to me that sometimes during shipping, the filter material can get disturbed. I've only had this happen once but this company has excellent customer service.

I bought the counter top unit from the manufacturer last year when Amazon ran out. I now buy the replacement filters from Amazon—the Home Master CFF2E-F10 Jr Elite Water Replacement Filter. It filters everything I don’t want in my water, including the combination of Chloramine. The filter life is six months, and during that time the water comes out chemical free and great tasting. I stopped buying bottled water, as this filter gives the same quality as commercial filtered water (my opinion). For the money it’s a great value and has saved me hundreds of dollars now that I don’t need water delivered. I highly recommend it. For aquarium owners, it’s known Chloramine kills fish, so while this filter may produce water safe enough for use in aquariums, do check with the manufacturer to be sure before you use it for that purpose.

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!

We have been using these filter refills for the past year and are very happy with the quality and ease of installation. Love it!

After lots of research I purchased the Homemaster Waterfilter. What a difference in the water quality and taste. We can only recommend this Product,

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.

Excelente para eliminar agua con sabor a ácido sulfúrico y también elimina flúor y otros contaminantes

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

This cartridge does a great job of removing the chlorine that has been added to our city water (the lack of chloride taste speaks for itself). I haven't had our water analysed by a lab so as for the flouride that is added by our municipality, and other harmful components, I simply trust that these are being removed as much as possible (for such an affordable countertop system).
