Radial flow iron reduction cartridge

The RFFE10-BB filter cartridge is designed to provide an easy and effective method of reducing iron from water, which significantly improves the taste.

This cartridge aids in the elimination of the orange and brown stains often found in sinks, toilets, tubs and other plumbing fixtures. It also reduces the possibility of damage to pipes and water heaters and reduces up to 3 ppm dissolved iron.

It adds no harmful chemicals to the water, making it completely safe for drinking water applications.

The RFFE10-BB cartridge is designed for use in the Pentek 10-inch BB filter housings and should be installed on the main cold water line after the pressure tank or water meter. For best results, pre-sediment and post-carbon treatment is recommended.

• Easily and effectively reduces up to 3 ppm of dissolved iron from water
• Improves flavor and reduces the metallic taste caused by iron
• Reduces the possibility of pipe and water heater damage
• For use in Pentek 10-inch Big Blue filter housings

So So
I have purchased 3 of these so far, and I think it needs improved to remove more iron from my well water. The rust forms in my toilet tanks and bowls, not as bad as it was, only 50% improvement. Me and my wife are the only occupants of our home and I try and replace it every 6 months or so. Would need to replace more often if there were more occupants and that can become expensive. - Carlos

Iron Reduction
The Pentek RFFE20-BB Radial-Flow Iron Reduction (20 inch BB) Water Filter has been working well to remove iron from our well water. I wish I had a easy way to test to know when to replace - Kyle L

We use this filter in our condo to eliminate the smelly hot water from our water heater. As long as we change the filter once or twice a year everything is great. - Paul B.

Iron, Coloform and the UV Light
Faced w/a dug well w/ a failing water test due to presence of coliform I installed a pur-test UV light only to have the test fail again. The efficiency of a UV light is diminished by turbidity which I had due to a high iron content. With money and space unavailable for a chlorinator and settling tank I took a chance on the radial flow filter as a last hope short of a new drilled well. Can say it has greatly reduced the iron turbidity (looked like weak tea). Have not had an additional water test done as I'm tired of spending money on this but with clear water and UV running its certainly better than the previous 6 months when I drank it high in iron w/coliform w/no negative effects!! *** installed 5 micron poly-spun pre-filter to Radial Flow as suggested and a .35 micron poly-spun pre-filter to the UV Light!!! These 2 filters are washable and collect iron as well no matter they are not designed for it. - Ted from Maine
Iron Filter
The only think I would change is the cartridge. The Cartridge could be clear like sediment filters. This would help know when to change the filter. - Charles E. Masilonis
Great Results
Few products perform as advertised, but these filters perform as advertised. Best filters I've ever used. - Steve S
Iron filter
This filter does an excellent job of removing iron and sulfide smell -

Our house plumbing fixtures are cleaner using the Iron Filter. It does remove the Iron. - Charles Masilonis
Iron filter
Toilets and dish washer stay way cleaner no build up - Matt
This is great
Bought this filter to reduce iron in our well water. Not enough flow rate for the “fancy” softeners and iron removal. This works great. No reservations. I have to change it every four months which is no surprise considering water here. All sinks and bathtubs need way less cleaning. It does what it says so very well. - Mike Schram
Works as advertised
I'm pleased to report that the filter works as advertised. It wasn't hard to install. You do need to track when it needs to be replaced - our toilets started to get discolored before I realized the filter needed replacement. - Jeff Thiel
Iron filter
Doesn't eliminate all of sulphur smell in the water - John D Holden
Used for Iron Reduction
Seemed to be well priced at the time of purchase (summer 2022) Well is dug so about 4 tiles. Used in conjunction w/sediment filter (5 microns) and ultra violet light to reduce build up on glass tube surrounding UV light. Small amount of Iron does still get through-very roughly about 1/2 tsp./ 10 gal. water. - Mainer

Pentek RFFE-10BB Customer Questions & Answers

Question:	What is the difference between cbc-10 filters and cfbc-10 filters?
Answer(s):	The CFBC series uses a proprietary technology to place a powdered activated carbon into a cellulose-free synthetic fiber material, whereas the CBC Series is a traditional carbon block. The advantage of the proprietary design of the CFBC series is that it will offer less pressure loss (better flow rate performance) and longer life. By HomePlus Water on Nov 27, 2024
