- Home Master CFF2E-10 Jr Elite Replacement Fluoride Filter, Fits standard 10” housings, 5-stages, Activated Alumina, Catalytic & Activated Coconutshell carbons, KDF85 heavy metals filtration media

I've had this water system for about a year and it has worked great. Easy installation and the water definitely tastes cleaner. Where I live the tap water smells and tastes heavily chlorinated. In using the Home Master System to filter the water I can smell and taste the difference, no chlorine. Replacing the filter came with slight difficulty in that it took some effort to unscrew the cap from the bottom stand. However to me this means there is a good seal. I have never had any issue with leaks.

I bought the counter top unit from the manufacturer last year when Amazon ran out. I now buy the replacement filters from Amazon—the Home Master CFF2E-F10 Jr Elite Water Replacement Filter. It filters everything I don’t want in my water, including the combination of Chloramine. The filter life is six months, and during that time the water comes out chemical free and great tasting. I stopped buying bottled water, as this filter gives the same quality as commercial filtered water (my opinion). For the money it’s a great value and has saved me hundreds of dollars now that I don’t need water delivered. I highly recommend it. For aquarium owners, it’s known Chloramine kills fish, so while this filter may produce water safe enough for use in aquariums, do check with the manufacturer to be sure before you use it for that purpose.

This is the upgraded filter to the other CFF25 model. I've used both but use this one for every day use ( I keep the cheaper CFF25 to use for filling water storage containers during hurricane season). This filter works well and I often filter it again when I fill my water filter pitcher ( Waterdrop Elfin) to make sure it's extra pure. When changing filters, the instructions say to run 5 gallons through the system before using but I've found that even at 5 straight gallons some discoloration still occurs. So here's what I do: Turn on the filter and allow the charcoal debris to run clear. Then: I SLOWLY run 3 gallons ( 12 16oz jars) then wait at least 10 minutes and run another gallon ( 4 jars) and then wait another 10 mins or more and run the final gallon through the system. This usually clears the water but just beware that when the filter is brand new, it may take running it for a few seconds before filling your glass to clear the light tan color. It's not as if it's toxic- just doesn't always look crystal clear right after those first 5 gallons. Highly recommend these filters. NOTE: One time I received a filter that was difficult to clear and it had orange particulate matter in the water. I contacted the company directly and they immediately shipped out a new filter at no charge. They explained to me that sometimes during shipping, the filter material can get disturbed. I've only had this happen once but this company has excellent customer service.

I had problems unscrewing the housing so I asked my son to help me. My son had no problem. This filter came with a new O ring. I followed the directions and put food grade silicone on the O ring. This time I tightened the housing just enough so there were no leaks as my son suggested. The end with the O ring goes on the bottom. I let the water run for about 5 minutes. The water tastes great, I could really taste the difference. I will definitely buy this water filter again. I wish the price was lower though.

I bought the counter top water system many years ago and it was great and the filter was not easy to change but a friend did it for me. When it was time to change the filter again and I ordered it from Amazon. It arrived, my friend tried it to fit many times unsuccessfully. It leaked. I returned it and got the same no fitting one which I also returned. Then I ordered another the other one that they offer with another item number for the elite 2 and again it was the same unfitting design. Why give it another item number if it’s the same as ccf25-10? It all has a round thing on top but my device needs the triangle one. Home Depot has it for sale but it is a hassle. I have to open the package to see what top the filter has, round or triangle. If I have to buy a new device…. Not from this company anymore that’s for sure. I asked the seller for the reason, no answer.

I just replaced the Home Master TMJRFE Jr F2 Elite water filtration system with this CFF2E-10 Jr F2 replacement filter. Removing the housing from the base was too hard for me, I got a friend who had a wrench that fit the housing. It easy to replace the filter, just be sure that the housing is screwed in tight.

This is my second replacement of this filter and I have no issues with it. I noticed some people had complained as far as how different water tastes compared to the original. I have not noticed this much of a difference. The cartridge has 3 layers of filtration each of different volume. They may be mixed as bit but not so much that you can't visually identify each. When you first install it, you will need to run some water for good 5-7 minutes. I usually don't go by the suggested usage times, which normally would be around 6 months. It varies by how much water goes through the cartridge. For me, it is time to replace after around 3 months. I would notice that the water does not taste as good and even a bit off putting.

We have been using these filter refills for the past year and are very happy with the quality and ease of installation. Love it!
