Brondell HF-33 H2O plus Cypress Carbon Block Filter

Good taste of our well water.

Without testing the water, which requires buying a water purity testing for about $20, one has to use some other method to test whether a water filter is satisfactory. These are the methods I have used to rate this product 5 stars. It is elegantly constructed and is firm and sturdy. It consists of three filters, two that need to be changed every 6 months, and one that needs to be changed every year, and that seems to me to be reasonable. It is not 'dirt' cheap nor very expensive, but is reasonably priced. I have used other water filters in the past, and prefer this one over all prior ones. Hence 5 stars.

I noticed that after around 7 months our filter starting running "slowly." oops, time to replace it! I did and sure enough the water dribbled out much quicker into a steady stream after the system pressurized. At first glance I thought I ordered the wrong one because of the protective cap it has on. Once removed it makes perfect sense where it applies. The tool to remove the old filter is located in the top of the unit. installation can be done by just about anyone and takes five minuets, a ten minute flush and a one hour pressurization in our apartment building.

Use for 12 months no problem.

Works as it should
