how is the apif 300 iron remover filter system?

The AP903 works well for a boat supplied by pier water. Clean taste and adequate flow.

no. depending on your water softener... determines how much salt it uses. mine is gear driven by water... so every 300 gallons mine regenerates. water softeners don't remove iron... like this air injection sys does. I have noticed a big difference in my water since I bought this system... I would recommend that you get your water tested.... to see if you need an iron removal system

I use my system due to high sulfur becouse of volcano and my ppm comes out 0.0 and only problem is cost of new filters but system works great but I also added uv light hope this helps

I agree with the other comments. Excellent system and in Arizona monsoon season, there's no such thing as too strong a filter system!

We have a Kinetico water softener system. We have a LOT of iron in our well water. We must use the Iron Out salts. The 5 micron filter works well for us. We used to use a 50 or 30 micron. If anything the 5 micron just filters better, finer particles. We change it every 6 months or so. It gets red with the iron, unless you are losing water pressure it is OK to use continue to use, we have gone 9 months without changing it before. I don't know what kind of sediment your trying to filter or how much is in your well water so I can't say how it would work in your system. I would recommend trying one of the filters for six months and see how it goes. If no problems then I'd buy the bulk package. We own our system so we can do as we like with it. I don't know what Kinetico would say about it. Good luck. Let us know if it works out for you OK. We were paying much more for our filters before we found this steal of a deal.

I use a coffee filter and drain mine into a bucket. I've reused the same solution to clean 10+ AR uppers and at least 20 pistols. Simple Green works fine as a solution and is cheap. I've not had problems with 'pitting' with any aluminum parts.

I agree with the others the fx6 is a great filter, but it is still necessary to do frequent water changes. No filter will do that for you.

I assume you were asking about the iron filter, not the air filter, right? Unless your water is very hard, it could end up block the filter, otherwise, it has no problem. I did not replace filters for 4 years. I checked one recently and see no difference between old one and new one when I look inside.

I've had this filter for a few years and I just vacuum it out with my Miele hepa vacuum. No problems so far.

Very nice system. Uses standard size filters you can get from any water treatment company. Filters last 6-12 months depending on your usage. These are built to last. AFW Filters sends out order forms for replacements and backs full warranty and support.

ABOUT THE SELF-CLEANING SYSTEM * Use the self-cleaning system to flush out minerals and lint. If lint is allowed to accumulate in the vents, it can scorch and cause brown spotting. For Models D2000 and D2020: Clean about once a month. For Models D2010, D2030 and D2035: A "CLEAN" indicator will appear in the digital display to notify you when your iron needs cleaning (A). * Fill the iron as described in "How to Use" but keep the water level below the MAX line. Plug in the iron, set the temperature to 6, and stand the iron on its heel rest. Allow to heat about 3 minutes. * Unplug the iron and take it to a sink. Holding it horizontally over a sink, move and HOLD the variable steam dial in the CLEAN position ( ). There may be some hissing and spitting while self-cleaning. This is normal. * Stay clear of HOT steam and boiling water as it comes out of the vents while lint, scale, and minerals flush through! Continue to hold the variable steam dial in the CLEAN position until all the water has emptied. If necessary, rock the iron side to side and front to back to empty it. * When finished, release the variable steam dial, stand the iron on its heel rest, and plug it in. Heat for about 2 minutes to dry out any remaining water then unplug.

I've been using "Super Iron Out" for years. I've not had a problem to date with my septic system. Read more at: http://www.superironout.com/drain-uses.php

I use the ceramic filters. At the time they said the red cross and unicef used them. That was good enough for me. I also read a review that said the stem on the black filter broke easy. I don't know if that was true, but I didn't have the money to try it to find out. I prefer tried and true. I LOVE my Berkey with the ceramic filters and they are very easy to clean. One of the best investments I've made for me and my family.

John I would also like to know what it is. However, most of these types of filters I have seen generally have a rating of 3. It's about equivalent to the old fiber glass filters, low dust pickup but high flow. I have a 10x6x1 box (in addition to the others) in my house and it is IMPOSSIBLE to find an actual filter for it. Even the builder put in one of these types of filters. I've been here for 10 years now and haven't had any issues with my system or this type of filter for just this one.

Reverse osmosis membranes are very sensitive to iron, and are destroyed (fouled) by even very small amounts 0.3mg/L. The Iron prefilters found in the Home Master Ultra and HydroPerfection will filter out the iron before it can damage the RO membrane. It is effective up to 1 mg/L of iron.

I have used it for my high iron well. It depends on what you mean "by a lot". Based on what I've experienced, I would estimate that if you have iron in the range of &lt;10ppm, using this filter housing with the 1 micron cartridges will yield you water that is clear. How long that cartridge will last depends on just how many ppm you have. I tried 5 micron and higher filters, and they still left my water orange. I would buy one, install with a 1 micron filter, and test life. If it clogs too fast, I would then buy a second unit and install it in series with the first one. Have the first pass filter running a 10-50u filter, then a 1u in the second pass filter. This of course assumes your water is free of chemicals, biological/bacterial contaminants, etc.

I honestly haven't noticed any design flaws. This works better than any other iron I have ever owned. What have you noticed?
