Aquaboon 5 Micron 10x4.5 Carbon Block Water Filters Whole House CTO Water Filter Replacement Cartridge Compatible with FXHTC, CB-BB-10, EP-BB, 2-Pack

This is the exact filter my water system installers used — and they wanted to charge me $150 for a service call plus $50 for the filter itself. Total overkill. I bought the same Aquaboon carbon block filter here for a fraction of the price and did the swap myself in under 10 minutes. The filter itself works great — it’s a standard 10”x4.5” 5-micron carbon block that removes chlorine, odors, and sediment. Water tastes clean, and there’s no noticeable drop in pressure. Solid construction and easy to install if you’ve got basic tools and a filter wrench. Added to a subscription and do the swap when it arrives.

I use this before it enters my whole house water softener in an environment of low-sediment and semi-low chlorination city water. I went a bit over a year and found them in the condition pictured with this review. The water was still fine, but we noticed a slight sulfur smell in the shower so I took the cue and found it like this. The rubber seals were coming off and the liner in the center was beginning to fray. Whether this is consequential during normal usage lengths, I'm unsure, but I feel I caught in in time. Since that time was a year, I think that's satisfactory. We triple filter our drinking water anyhow (before the softener, at the fridge dispenser, and in a Brita pitcher, but it all tasted and smelled fine by the time of this change. RECOMMENDED.

These work great!

The filters help remove particles and improve the taste our potable water. We enjoy drinking water everyday.

The filters are great, but when you are changing the filters watwr is splashed out the top of the housing! They need to have a drain petcock to empty the housing.

I was in need of a filter ASAP. Luckily. I found this and it was the perfect fit and delivered the next day.

I used other filters before and these carbon filters worked the best!! They removed the Bad oder and taste first try use. I do recommend this filter for well water.

Good product.

Makes your water fresh and clean tasting.

Great product just as advertised. Apart from fine particles my well water has a rotten egg smell and this item actually works on both issues. Very happy!

So far so good. These are exactly the type of filter required for well water. Used in conjunction with a high flow 10u prefilter you can remove a ton on material from your well water and save your water heater. There is a little carbon flow to start with but I just run the first running to the laundry sink on cold to clear it.

Parfait.

Poor quality filters. Performance of the filter is low. Definitely doesn't filter to 5 micron. I won't be buying these filters again. Im sticking with the aqua crest filters for now on.
