Need water filter recommendations

[erikrocks]

So, I have well water with a very metallic/bloody smell and taste. I had it tested and it came back with (only) 0.54ppm of iron. All other levels were within reason, as well.

Can anyone recommend a good (sub $100) water filter?

Danke.

Waterfilters.net get a whole house filter ether use for your whole or inline with a garden hose.

get a KDF media filterKinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF) is a high-purity copper-zinc formulation that uses a basic chemical process known as redox (oxidation/reduction) to remove chlorine, lead, mercury, iron, and hydrogen sulfide from water supplies. The process also has a mild anti-bacterial, algaecitic, and fungicitic, effect and may reduce the accumulation of lime scale.

Great. I think I'll try that. Thanks.

Not sure what your setup is, but I use an RV water filter that I attach to the end of a potable water hose, attached to my laundry sink's faucet. Works great, high flow rates, great results.

I got mine Canadian Tire, I'm sure they're available readily in your area...

Thanks again for the info last week, guys. After a decent amount of research, I ended up ordering the KDF setup that BrothersBrewing recommended. I hope it comes Friday in time for the brewing weekend.

I use an RV filter I bought at Wally-world for about $8 with a potable water hose included. It's cheap enough to pickup if your KDF setup doesn't get there in time.

3/4" #10 Housing
KDF85-10-WF Water Filter

It's a bit more expensive, but I'm also hoping it can take the place of my water softener in general.
