Crystal Clean iron remover

[Skyjumper]

I fear I may get flamed for this, but has anyone used this product? https://www.crystalclean.us/

I can find no information on what's in it. since my iron filter is no longer working I am thinking of trying this while I consider options to repair or replace the Fe filter. I've tried super iron out it doens't seem to do anything and I think it causes my water to smell like sulfur. i've not tried rescare or the other cleaners but from what I gather they are no more effective than sio.

Use food grade citric acid.

This is probably methylphosphonic acid. Nothing exciting or new, I have used similar acids for years. Citric acid tends to work very well, is reasonably priced and tastes great.

thanks for the tip. where do you get your citric acid? seems like about $4/lb . reading through some threads it looks like 2lb per cleaning is the typical dosage. assuming monthly cleaning that's 8 bucks a month. that seems kinda pricey, unless my assumptions are off. or perhaps my expectations are?
