BWF-CC15-56SXT Catalytic Carbon Filter, Almond

This filter is awesome! It completely removes all chlorine from my city water supply. The pressure drop is not noticeable, maybe only a couple psi. It came in Black color, not cream like pictured, but that doesn't matter to me.The valve works great. I only wish the tank was an UPFLOW design, to prevent the need for an electric valve, and backwashing. Since this is a DOWNFLOW tank design, the resin needs to be backwashed every 1-2 weeks because the carbon media gets compacted down at the bottom of the tank over time from the downward water pressure, which can lead to channeling and inefficient filtration. To remedy this, it includes a programmable valve that initiates backwashing, which means a little water is wasted each time it backwashes.An upflow tank has no need for the programmable valve, since it never needs backwashing, and therefore would theoretically last longer as there are less moving parts and no electronic parts.Regardless, I'm fully satisfied with my whole house carbon filter system! The price is very competitive at $465 shipped.By the way, I don't know why the price on this listing went up several hundred dollars. It appears it was taken over by other sellers. The seller I purchased from is American Water Systems. Their new listing can be found here, which still sells it at the same cheaper price I paid:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D0HQE64/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A19E80AV4DWHHS

have owned for a year now and its working automatically and preforming well. Love the modern electronic digital controls! much better than the old manual timer controls

Does not remove hydrogen sulfide gas. Water still smells bad

Great value. Installs with very little effort and works as advertised. Pearland, Tx water is high in dissolved solids.This filter with a 5 day backwash solved my problems.

3 years of working great!!!!

Works GREAT.

Could have used quick connect fittings, but overall Very Well built and effective

arrived on time and as described
