Will this filter sulfur smell/taste in well water?

We are not on well water; however, this does filter out the "bad taste" we had in our water. Hope this helps.

I dont know about sulfer, but I have a huge amt of iron in the water that makes the water smell and it takes that odor and taste away. I am pleased with this filter. My water goes in orange and comes out clear.

I purchased mine so long ago that I don't recall any specific smells other than getting used to the ions. That may be what you smell. It fades over time. Also be sure that you've removed any plastic on the filters.

The instruction sheet that came with the system recommends changing the filter once a year. I'm not an expert on how filtered water should taste once the filter outlives it usefulness, but I can tell no difference in the water now from when I started using the system. My filter is now 1yr and three months old. I do plan to change it soon!!!

Yes it will remove the chlorine and other contaminants from water so your water will have no taste the way it should be.

You don't say why you feel you have to change the filter. If it is plugging up I could be contaminants in the water like minerals and such. This could be especially true if it's your own well. If it's taste it could still be the water. I usually get at least 5 months before I start noticing degradation of the water's taste. I live in a city and the water is treated which in most cases I believe extends the life of the filter.

I do not feel any smell. Water is good. However, I am not sure that the source water had a sulfur smell to start with, it may not. So, the exact answer is "I do not know".

Yes Marge. We use a carbon filter as it removes chlorine, iron,organics from our private well. I trust you and your family are doing well. Kindest regards, Lynn

The contaminants it filters are listed on the specification sheet. If they are not listed then I would assume they aren't filtered. I don't know what you mean by "bad well water". I had a domestic water well in New Mexico and had to treat the water to prevent mineral stains and red iron deposits. I used a water softening system to do that. I use the Shower Filter for our water in Marin County to filter the chemicals used by the water district. I forgot to replace the filter at six months and my skin began to break out again. Within 3 showers after replacing the filter my skin started recovering and now after about ten days it is totally clear. This reinforces the experience I had after initially installing the shower filter. My skin cleared in about two weeks. This was after several years of using prescription steroid creams and other treatments to clear my skin. I don't use anything now but a dry skin lotion.

We, too, have a well. The Berkey web site should provide the info you're looking for (it is very helpful). Please be aware that it is a purification system as well as a filter.

We had a heavy sulfur odor and iron in our well water. With this filter I only get a faint yellow ring in my tug and the sulfur odor is almost. For the cost of this system, it is well worth the money. We are satisfied with its' performance.

I don't believe it will! I believe it is a taste and sediment filter only! As far as I know the filtration of microbes or bacteria is beyond this filters capability!

Iam on a well system, water was checked before i installed this system, all my readings were satisfactory at that time, The filter system was really old so i just updated to this system.i have not checked the water now.

I don't know. I like mine. I can smell the chlorine in the water again when it's time to change the filter.

I also have well water (rural Oregon) and it seems to work just fine. Enjoy!

Short answer: no. This product is for water systems to eliminate iron and sulphur odor in water.

Absolutely. I actually had to stop using it due to the horrible smell. This occurred about 6 months after I purchased the unit. I even had washed out the " lifetime filter" , but it has continued shortly after. Was thinking to purchase a new filter and see if that helps. :(
