Never have any problems with it.
These filters are awesome. Would recommend them. Price is perfect. Last much longer than expected. A second wrench would be good to hold the top of the housing when changing filters. Saves a lot of time when cleaning the boiling tank since almost nothing makes it that far past the filters
The filter works great but the box it came in that could have fit a medium sized dog was a bit over kill :) Would like to see a more Eco-concsious effort put into packaging
Does the job. I got some gnarly, heavily treated city water, and this filter does a great job of cleaning it up and making tasty brew.
the best of the best in taste !
Great filter great price definitely makes my tap water brew ready
This water filter made my water taste better. Not much else to say about it, it works well.
Works well. Strips off the bad stuff as I start filling and heating my water.
Dries out nicely between uses.
I always filter my brewing water through this filter. Since I started doing so, I have noticed an improvement in the flavor of my beers. You can't beat the price, either!
A must have for filtering water. I use these for filtering water into my mash tun and my hot liquor tun.
I use this filter for every batch of beer I make. The water comes out tasting great and making wonderful beer. Low price makes changing filters more economical than buying jugs.
If you want to use your own tap water - you must have one of these in your setup. Period. Otherwise you will suffer the dreaded bandaid tasting beer...
Easy install...best tasting beer to date. Highly recommend!
This filter does a great job removing chlorine from my tap water. I confirmed its results with my swimming pool test kit. Does the job and does it well.
I have been reordering this filter from more beer for the past 5 years. I try to get a new one once a year. I usually brew about 25 batches of beer over the course of the year and have had no complaints, this filter does the job. BUY IT!
I have done several batches of beer and mead by filtering out the chlorine in my drinking water. I have noticed a large improvement in the taste of my beer and mead since I have started filtering with this carbon filter. I have had the original for almost 2 years and thought it was about time I had to change it out. I highly recommend using this if you have chlorine in your water.
I live in an area where the water receives a good dose of chemicals every few weeks ...this unit solved my problems .It just works!
Pair this up with a couple water salts to really target the water profile you want
After a couple months I changed out the filter that came with my housing and worked perfect.
It would be nice if the description stated how many microns it was. In combination with the housing, it makes a noticeable difference in the taste of my water.
Is this removable and reusable? Can I switch it out to use the filter housing for filtering beer? And then back in for water on another batch?
Yes you can remove the carbon filter block and reuse it. For example after filtering water I typically remove the filter block from the housing to let it dry out so that it doesn't start to grow algae. Years ago I used to just keep it cool in the fridge but if it is full of water it will start to grow algae.
The filter is removable and the housing can be used with a different cartridge for filtering beer. As others have said it is best to take the filters apart in between uses to let the housing and cartridges to dry out. As always it is very important to thoroughly clean and sanitize your housing and hoses before using it for beer.
The filter is removable
The filter is removable. Because of the time between batches I pull the filter out to let it dry and keep the housing dry.
The carbon filter is removable and definitely reusable. I believe it’s good for about 500 gallons of water. Not sure of the filter type for beer but have seen other brewers use the housing for filtering their beer.
Yes - I use it for water only but remove it and let it dry when not using it. That way I don't worry about algae growing in the filter.
I wouldn’t recommend that. The beer will partially plug the filter and the residue in the filter would be prone to contamination by all kinds of bugs.
Yup this is just the filter replacement. So if you have the filter housing you can use it to filter beer then clean it out and swap filters and go back to filtering water
I use it for filtering beer water but I would not recommend using to filter beer.
I always use the carbon filter for my water and it does a great job. And I have used other filters for filtering beer although I now rely on Irish Moss and Gelatin during cold crash before kegging...no need to filter beer with my system. Hope this helps.
Carbon filters are for filtering your water prior to brewing not for filtering beer. It is removable and reusable (for water).
