Auto Tech LLC•August 1, 2017
Works "Well on the Well". I would provide a FIVE STAR rating if not for the fact the filter itself (if not changed out regularly) introduces unique smells into the water supply.
Upgraded from the cellulose-based (carbon powder activated) filters provided by the same manufacturer to this NON CELLULOSE carbon impregnated filter. The product is employed on one of the three wells we have on the property to provide household water to the residence.
Configuration:
Legend: Water Flow >>
Well >> 10 Micron Sediment / Whole House Filter >> Pentek NCP-20 Pleated Carbon Impregnated Filter >> Water Softening System >> 5 Micron Final Finishing Filter
>> Distribution Pipes to Various Household Rooms
>> Separate Distribution to 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis System (serving refrig and other drinking outlets)
Results: reduced "bad odor" and sediment acceptably well for a period of approximately 60 days. We live "on" the Chesapeake Bay so brackish water infiltration is common. The product is obviously dealing with sediment, bacteria of all sorts, salt, sand, ground water runoffs, and other contaminants. If you don't change it out within this interval (may vary depending on your contaminants and configuration), the odor along with some Pentek NCP-20 GENERATED related smells will be evident. The reason I point this out is prior to installation we did not experience the odd Pentek NCP-20 related smells. Keep the remove and replace interval at acceptable levels and the product should perform acceptably well.

Iron Bacteria
T.Swank•May 1, 2017
We have iron bacteria in our well. Every year we acid bomb it in the summer to keep the bacteria growth down. We have also added a #20 and a #10 filter to keep the winter growth down. Previously we were using a standard 5 mircon particulate filter, changing it every month and having to run the water through a brita to have "OK" water. Since switching to the pentek we have not used the brita and its been over a month since we changed filters. The water is awesome and we didnt spend thousands on a clorine drip system.

Filter actually had a cut in the bottom seal. We didn't notice until we had already removed the old one so we used it anyway. It worked ok but there was a fair amount of carbon initially in the line.
Does the job

Dose the job. Removes the bad smell and taste of the water.
