iSpring F3WGB32BM 4.5” x 20” 3-Stage Whole House Water Filter Set Replacement Pack with Sediment, CTO Carbon Block, and Iron & Manganese Reducing Cartridges Fits WGB32BM, White (Pack of 1)

I’ve held off writing this review until the system has proven itself. I have been through a few attempts with Richard from iSpring helping me out along the way; and in June I finally installed this specific 3-stage set of filters. Our well water is problematic, and feeds two houses. One house uses this filter set, the other house uses a 5 micron filter, and a softener with iron reducing chemicals. This filter set has proven itself to be far better than what I have on the other house - on the same water. I’ve had the water tested, and it’s very hard, with high TDS, and high iron / manganese - which makes it difficult to treat reliably. At first I had an issue with a premature failure of an iron/manganese filter - so I wasn’t convinced. Richard kindly offered this full set, which I was dubious about. In retrospect I now suspect that the initial 5 micron filter wasn’t sealed perfectly, and so dirty water was reaching the iron/manganese filter - which fouled it prematurely. You have to be very careful to install these centrally in your housing. Once installed properly, our water has been crystal clear and tastes so much better than the other house - for nearly 8 months now with one filter set. I’m hoping to get 18 months out of them based on our water usage, so we’ll see - but even at 8 months I’m happy. I suspect some of the negative reviews are caused by improper installation or water with other contaminants that this filtration set isn’t suitable for. Get your water tested before choosing.

I installed this system in conjunction with a big box store water softener to treat our rusty well water in northern Illinois. Installation was straight forward and went without incident. Prior to installation, our water would look clear coming out of the tap, but the toilets, showers, washing machine, dishwasher, and any other fixtures or appliances would get substantial orange rust stains on them within a few days of cleaning. The water definitely tasted like well water, but it was drinkable in a pinch. After installing the filters, the taste of our well water is comparable to that of bottled water. The rust buildup in the appliances and fixtures was reduced by probably 80% or so, but not completely removed. I just changed my first set of filters after six months, as I was uncertain what my service life would be given our level of rust. We also noticed a minor drop in water pressure in the last couple weeks, suspected filter contamination. The sediment filter was very discolored, probably in the middle of the color chart found on ispring’s site, definitely in the ready to change range. The other filters appeared to be in good condition, no notable discoloration. After the filter change, water pressure returned to normal. Going forward, I plan to change the sediment filter only every four months, the other two filters annually. I will reevaluate that as time goes on, but I think that will be sufficient based on my observations from this first cycle. I think this is a great product that definitely changed or water quality and drinkability. I highly recommend.

This is iSpring, quality is second to none. Excellent product, very pleased, bought a back up set of filters immediately after system install to ensure we are covered in case of supply issues from the USA. Would buy again without second thought. Highly recommended!

These filters work great for my house as my water provided by our county is not very good. It's very hard and when you run it through filters it will show just how brown the water is. Using this filter system makes my water as if its being delivered from a natural spring. I know this as I've tested the water before and after and the results are amazing. As far as how long the filters last probably depends on what water you have coming in. When I first installed this system, I changed it after one year and the filters were brown, especially the sediment filter which it the first stage. The brown color lightened as I went to stage 2 & 3 but I figured I would change them sooner than waiting one year. This time I did it at about 10 1/2 months which I noticed a slight difference but one of the ways you can tell is the home water pressure will be reduced and that would be a sign to change them. Next time I'll probably change them at about 8 months and see if there's any difference. At about 6 months is when I begin to notice a reduced pressure in the house, but we'll see. As far as cost is concerned, I think the cost is reasonable for what the system provides so to me it's well worth the expense, I just try and buy the filters when I see them on sale no matter when I plan to change them as that keeps the maintenance costs down. I would certainly recommend this system to anyone looking for clean good tasting water. I have the system installed in my garage and the appearance looks great and installation was easy enogh for me to do myself.

We have 2 homes on our property & we have 2 systems that use these filters. They are effective & great quality.
