Review: Best home filter for iron and sulfur to 6 months highly recommend - This is by far the best water filter for a 10-in filter system that has any type of sediment especially iron I have to replace mine once every 6 months but I have a well that has high content of iron. And this filter works perfectly from keeping the orange rings from appearing and your sinks or toilets. It also works better than the more expensive ones that trap more particles and our home. This is one of the items that you don't always get what you pay for the more expensive ones do not work as well in our home then this one. eliminates iron and sulfur very well 5 Stars all the way
Review: Excellent filter - Years ago, when I purchased and installed our whole house water filter, the main reason I did so it was because the filters were available at a store nearby. Wouldn't you know that six months later they no longer carried the correct size filter and they still don't. For a while we were purchasing some off brand here. I will tell you that these Culligan filters perform very well, at least for our intended purpose of filtration and they do seem to last longer while doing their job than the aforementioned off brand ever did. We change every four months or so. I think they are a very good value for the dollar.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will an r50-bbsa filter fit in the wh-hd200-c**
A: It does. We are using this filter in our hd200-c unit.

**Q: why does the title say 5 micron?**
A: Micron filters remove dirt, debris, and even microscopic particles from water. The pore size of a filter cartridge is measured in microns. The smaller the micron rating, the finer the particulate removed. 5 microns is good as far as a pre-filter for water softening units as it will remove (filter-out) all particles larger that 5 microns. A smaller micron will remove bacteria but it will also mean a lot nore resistance to water flow. Since most cities treat the water with chlorine 5 microns is sufficient to remove most particles without obstruction. After 4-6 weeks you will see the amount of sediment  (the whilte filter will turn very brown) that has been filtered out of your water system.

**Q: Does  cartridge  come with housing**
A: No. This is a replacement cartridge for someone that already has the housing

**Q: Whst size**
A: Kathy,

Here is sizing info:

The size/dimensions: 9-3/4" H x 4-1/2" D

Compatible Housings: HD-950, HD-950A, Watts W10FFPH1CBPR

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best filtering system I've ever used: All Culligan.
*by S***R on March 7, 2013*

UPDATE 7/14/16 Now having used these filters for four years I am very, very pleased with their performance. We live in a situation where the filter is of extreme importance (see the original review) and we replace them every 2 to 4 months, as soon as we notice the water pressure dropping in the shower. I have never received a bad one, never had one split or leak, always do their job beautifully. Changing out the old filters is not a difficult job... could only be improved by somehow making them snap on rather than tightly screwed together and requiring the special wrench to remove, but we've never had a leak, thanks to that method. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I live in an old house that uses river water. That sounds nasty, but in truth our river is clear and clean, fed by multiple springs. We do get sediment after rains, but most of the time it's clean for bathing, etc. During the fall season the cypress trees along the river shed needles and clog washing machines and toilets and faucet screens. More important fixtures in the house have standard size filters... the water into the washing machine, also the water heater, and of course there are R/O units for drinking water. But to catch the major debris at the times mentioned, I've always had a back-washable filter located at the pump. These filters have always been a problem because they are small and clog quickly with algae (clear housing exposed to the sunlight), and break after a year or two... and the price has gone up X5 since I started using them. By installing the big Culligan filter with 1" lines at the pump house, I find now the other filters last much much longer throughout the house, and the first 50 micron is now 6 months old and still doing fine. The housing for the filters (reviewed elsewhere) is very sturdy and simple to open to change filters, which I have on a 6-month subscription from Amazon. I really wish I'd changed to this system many years ago because I constantly had to fight sediment buildup in all of the fixtures I mentioned, and it would really mess up the washing machine input valve and fill the water heater with messy slime in the rainy seasons. I don't expect to ever have that problem again. I'm a happy customer. UPDATE: Lost water pressure over a period of two weeks up to the point that it was difficult to take a shower. My 6-month subscription to this filter had just arrived so I put it in. The old filter did not LOOK particularly clogged, but replacing it did the trick. I changed my subscription to every 3 months because I anticipate higher water use in the future. I'm still happy with it. No problem changing filters btw.
