We are currently using the model CP5-BB water cartridge and find that we need to replace it every two weeks in order to maintain a minimal water pressure.
I viewed all of the filters that are available for the 4 1/2”x10” “Big Blue” and I was wondering which one might offer us a greater amount of time between changes.
FYI, in addition to the “Big Blue” we also have an ultraviolet water purification system and constantly providing excellent quality and innovation. are therefore not so much concerned about bacteria as much as the silt and sediment problem that we are experiencing. Thank you for your anticipated assistance in this matter.
CP5 series from Pentek has been modified to a newer model. It is now the ECP5-BB filter instead.

subject: A true 1 micron filter.Comments: I would like to know if a pleated sediment filter is a true one micron filter and is it rated to remove cysts?
I have found that there are great differances in 1 micron filters and am looking for one to
remove sediment as small as 1 micron on initial installation.
Some are only one micron after the filter gets saturated with a given amount of sediment.
It depends what you want removed from the water.
If it’s sediment, it will do. If it’s cysts, it will not.
Pleated Cellulose-Polyester; Polypropylene; etc. are Sediment filters.
For cysts, a carbon type filter is needed.
Thanks for helping me with the GE smartwater gxrv10abl01 replacements.:
The faucet in that system has a long neck.
I need one and I can’t find it on the GE site, but GE sells one like that w/ the
next system up.
Can you show me with one or where to get it???
It needs to have an integral air-gap.
Again, thanks in advance

People might sometimes get confused on what is Total chlorine, and what is Free chlorine. Here are some details that might be of help.
The chlorine that is free and available does the vital work of killing bacteria and removing contaminants. When free chlorine comes in contact with contaminants, such as soap, ammonia, or other organic compounds that contain nitrogen, it’s called combined chlorine, or as others call it: chloramines. In water of pools and spas, this type of chlorine has very little ability to sanitize, and also has no oxidizing ability. You may think of combined chlorine as a spent bullet.

Reverse osmosis (RO) has become a common home water treatment method for drinking water that might be contaminated.
The method of purifying water by reverse osmosis is used by many people these days, to simply purify their water and remove salts and impurities which would result in improving the taste and odor of the fluid. Reverse Osmosis rejects bacteria, proteins, sugars, particles, and dyes that have a molecular weight of more than 150 to 250 Dalton.

I have a Culligan AC-30 with 3/8″ and some 1/4″ Guest fittings.
Is the OmniPure K2333KK the right post carbon filter?
How does the RO membrane compare to the one they used in area, filtering ability, etc.
Culligan reverse osmosis systems all use the same activated carbon prefilter, activated carbon post filter, and particulate filter. However the reverse osmosis module/membrane varies between the units, and the Post Filters come with different connection settings. In most cases, the membrane is from same manufacturer, with different label.
The OGWDW (which stands for Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water), with its many partners, ensure that americans all over the land have safe drinking water and protected ground water.
OGWDW, along with the EPA’s 10 regional drinking water programs, oversees and ensures implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act, which is the national law safeguarding tap water in America.
These days, drinking water suppliers provide consumer confidence reports that describe where the drinking water comes from, and what contaminants may be found it the water. You can read the water quality report online, or you may contact the water supplier to get a copy.
By July First of each year, consumers should receive a consumer confidence report, or drinking water quality report from the local water supplier.

I have a GE smartwater gxrv10abl01 water filtering system. I see the 155268
CBR2-10 listed as a replacment filter, but only as the POST filter, not the PRE filter. Why?
GE states that it’s filter, the fxp12 is used as BOTH the pre and post filters.
Can I use this 155268 CBR2-10 as BOTH filters??
Is there any (dis)advantages???
Why are these filters so much CHEAPER than the OEM filters?
Do they meet the same spec’s???
I’m willing to buy them, but such a huge diffrence is price makes me nervous.
Last, will these “bolt right in”?????
I’m a techie type and don’t want parts that I need to “adapet”.
GE FX12P replacements would be the CBR2-10 too, but although you can use the CBR2-10 as a pre-filter, it’s more expensive.
These replacement filters will fit in correctly.
Same or better technology then the OEM.
In fact GE is not the manufacturer of these units, and I’m most certain they use the same brand with a different label.
U.S. Water News Online reports about the City Of New York Government seeing a Car Wash facility in Queens NY, as the possible source of contaminated water.
The city tested water drawn from a well and used by a car wash in Queens, to determine if it might have contaminated the water in many neighborhoods, with a chemical used by auto body repair shops.
The DEP of NY (That’s the Department of Environmental Protection) claims that tests have shown falling levels of tetrachloroethylene, a chemical also known as PERC.

If you home drinking water comes from a municipal or city water system, then the tap water you drink comes through a real maze of filtration procedures before it reaches your faucet. The water enters into the main water system without any purification at all, from where it’s passed through a filtration process of sand, synthetic floss, fine gravel, or all 3 combined.
This filtration process removes sediment particles, and some cloudiness. Further down the pipe, Granular Activated Carbon take harmful toxins out of the purified water, in a system procedure known as chemical filtration. The final filtration stage is biological water filtration. Some water treatment plants also have their purified water go through plant life, to remove (absorb) nitrates and other nitrogen from the water.
A similar filtration process may be seen in home aquariums.

In many areas around the world, waterborne diseases such as typhoid fever, gastroenteritis, cholera, dysentery, and infectious hepatitis would kill several hundreds of children each and every hour of the day. In addition to this horror, billions of work productivity hours are lost each year.
In many developing countries, the luxury of tap water is not an option. About 2 thirds of humans on earth get drinking water from outside their dwelling.
To address this health and energy issue, an effort was set upon by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Indoor Environment Program to introduce a UV water purifier that would work in developing countries.
The device to provide a durable and inexpensive unit that can be setup locally and maintained easily. The result: UV Waterworks.

Comments: I lost my installation instructions for my water boss water softner. Is there a place
to download them from? I found you through an online search and hope you can help.

I have some concerns about using the Water Boss softner system with my septic system.
I have heard that it is not recommended that these salt using types be drained into a septic system. Is this true?
I have what is called ‘clear water iron’, and will be using the appropriate softner medium. Is there a concern with this draining into my septic system?

Hello,

We have a reverse osmosis system under our kitchen sink.
It is called “Culligan Cleer.”
There are three filters.
The model numbers are:
Do you have something to replace these Culligan filters?
We would like to replace them ourselves, and thought it would be more economical to buy them online rather than through the Culligan Dealer, or is it so?
Thank you.
When purchasing in bulk, it’s more economical to buy the Culligan Reverse Osmosis filters online. If you need personalized service, your Culligan Man would be the better approach.
Culligan water filtration products reduce the presence of sediment and bad taste and odor.
Some Water Purification products remove or at least reduce the presence of contaminants such as nitrates, mercury, herbicides, pesticides, lead, giardia, cryptosporidium, and asbestos. Please note that not all bad things in the water that can be remove, are actually there before installing the water treatment device. It’s up to you to do a Water Test before spending a fortune on something not needed.
To sum it all up, if you are not sure what is wrong with your water, you may want to try a water test kit. The test kits will tell you which, if any, contaminants are in your water.

Magnetic water treatment, salt free water softening - how does it work
Electronic Water Conditioners (using magnetic water treatment) use very powerful low frequency signals which effectively treat many conditions of water and flow rates.
They transmit these signals asynchronously via an aerial to create a strong magnetic field, which has the effect of altering the formation of calcium carbonate crystals (lime scale), so that they remain in suspension in small particles and do not form hard crystalline deposits (hard water scale) inside pipes, boilers and domestic appliances.
This magnetic water treatment effect will gradually erode existing limescale deposits, thereby increasing the flow and efficiency of plumbing systems.
