Does this product filter out nasty smelling sulfur from well-water?

I have not used it on water that is purified using sulfur. I know that it does work on chlorine and fluorides

We have a well with soft water that comes through a coal vein. We thought we could "get by" with a lesser filter but found out the RFC-BBSA filter last us about three months but MY! what a difference - It's Clean!

We are not on well water; however, this does filter out the "bad taste" we had in our water. Hope this helps.

It can filter both city water and well water. It doesn't filter out virus and bacteria, though. For well water, a whole house UV stage (#UVF55) is recommended if bio contamination is concerned.

Yes it does. I have now been using this for a few months and have found it to work perfectly. No more bad smells or taste in my water. (filters can be purchased for about $10 each)

It is supposed to filter Cryptosporidium. I can only say I have not had a problem. But, I do not know if the water contained this or not. I do not know where you are going to be. Higher elevation run off water seems to have less to worry about. To be safe or if you are going to be in an area that has very poor water quality, I would use the filter and a chemical treatment together. There are some very inexpensive treatment tablets that are light and will ensure that you have everything from parasites AND bacteria covered.

It does, But I would Recommend two of these One just for sediment and One for taste and odor,that way the filter lasts longer. Im going to do that Now on mine because the city has so much sediment in the water it clogged up my new filter in four months. I have to buy another unit with the Basic filter on it.

It does appear to remove sulphur, but our levels may not be the same as yours. This is a very easy and simple filter to install and change. I would not recommend as a replacement for a salt-based system, but rather as a secondary filter.

these are strcitly sediment filters. i am going to add a second stage to my inline filter to house a carbon filter- that is the only thing that will remove most ( not always all ) odors and odd tastes. if you have high sulfur, you might consider a twin carbon filter system in order to bring the taste down to neutral.Again, nearly EVERY filter that lists it as a " sediment filter " is ONLY for particulate matter ( debris, sand, small particles etc ), NOT for taste or odors.

It does not. I prefer it this way since I have an under-sink water filter that does a much better job than those little charcoal filters, but you may prefer otherwise.

i don't know about well water, but it is supposed to remove everything from tap water.

Hi..I doubt this filter will help as it's for sediment ..aka tiny bits of dirt.

Sorry I do not know we have well water( sulfer) so it isn't something I worry about, does a great job on ours

Not to my knowledge. We are using RO water because our well water is terrible!

The iron comes out but it clogs the filters pretty quickly. We have lots of iron in our well water.

Yes, it is designed so you can remove the filters easily.Just remember to check on the water quality more often once filter is removed.

I have no idea, but the filter removes calcium, which is why I put it in front of my on demand water heater, to protect the coils. I have both a sediment filter (by the well) and this filter on the hot water line. They serve different purposes. But I am dealing with a fair amount of sediment, since I have well water.
