I’ll be moving to Baton Rouge, which has some of the most polluted water in the country. I was thinking about just having bottled water delivered to me but then when I take a shower, I could still be subject to the contaminants. Should I get a whole house water filter instead? But, then I was thinking the plumbing could already be polluted. Plus, when I go out to any restaurant, the water will be dangerous also.

I have well water and would like to setup a whole house water filter using big blue (20"x4.5" cartridge supporting) filters with 1" inlets. There is a neutralizer before the intended filter setup to bring the pH to the right range. I have practically 0 iron, low levels of orange brown sediment, no odd smell or taste to the water.
Considering a 2 stage filter with a sediment filter and a carbon filter. Would be putting 2 ball valves (before and after) and 3 gauges (before and after each stage).
Questions I have:
1. Is there any problems with using a carbon filter for whole house?
2. What is the recommended micron size for the sediment and carbon filters?
3. What kind of impact should I expect to the water pressure by adding this filter?
Thanks.

The single element sediment filter is configured with a tankless water heater and two disconnects. Is there any need for a whole house water filter?

Planning on installing a whole house water filter. I am on a private well and recently the water has began to taste the "rotten egg" taste and smell. Any suggestions or comments or recommendations would be appreciated.1 bath 2 bedroom house
It is weel water, so chlorine is involved. Yes it is hydrogen sufide and not bacteria, the whole neighbor hood has the smell. I am considering LifeSource brand. Has a backflush capability and charcoal among other sediment filters.
My typing is terrible this morning. It is well water, therefore chlorine removal is not in the question. Water has been tested and is safe and good.

The house we recently purchased has a whole house water filter system. When we purchased the house, there was no filter installed, and the water was bypassing the system. We purchased a filter, shut off the bypass and have the water going through the filter. However, whenever we shut off the water anywhere in the house, we hear a banging noise – any ideas why and how we could stop it?

I bought a Maytag whole house water filter that sits outside my house. I wish I never bought the crazy thing. it has a prefilter on it I do know how to change except I’m afraid I will bust the pex and want to know if there is an easy way to fix it. I am really wanting to know if anyone has experience replacing the liner in the main system

If I buy a water softener that has a built in whole house water filter, do I need to remove the filter on my water dispenser on my refridgerator so that my water isn’t ‘too’ filtered? Someone told me that and I find that hard to believe, so I’m coming to the experts for advice. Thanks!

We have well water and were looking into getting the Waterboss 700; there are 2 people in my household.

I just bought a new house with well water.We are having a problem with iron in our water and it’s dying everything yellow. We have a cheap aqua pure whole house water filter and I was thinking the most cost effective way to help this problem would be to buy another cheap filter. My quetion is can you have two water filters or will it slow down the flow of water or cause any other problems?

Water filters have become something of a necessity as the water coming from our tap has become increasingly contaminated over the years with many toxins, chemicals, bacteria and pollutants.  So if you are going to find the best water filter for your sink or home, you need to choose one carefully, as they are not all the same.

We are made up of mostly water, approximately 75 %, and the quality of the water that we are consuming is extremely important.  Even bottled water quality is under debate as far as it’s purity is concerned.  A water filter on your tap or under the sink is one the most important investments you can possibly make for yourself and your family.

However,  not all filters are created equal, with one of the best selling versions, reverse osmosis, removing vital minerals as well as the bad stuff. The World Health Organization has recommended that we drink water with minerals in, to ensure good health.

The problem with this type is that the filters are very small and strip the water of the trace minerals too, like calcium and magnesium, which can lead to minerals deficiencies over time, and also some of the pharmaceutical drugs like antibiotics and general toxins like pesticides can still get through, leaving you out of pocket and unprotected.

During my research I discovered that water is one of the best sources for minerals, as our bodies absorb them better than from food, especially as many of our diets are not what they should be and the fact that the mineral content of the food we eat is only a sixth of what it was in years gone by.

The most effective sink water filter I have found is one which uses a multi-stage filtration, with a carbon filter to remove the chlorine, parasites and lead etc, but leave in those essential minerals, resulting in great tasting natural water again, as it should be.

This type is also environmentally friendly, wasting no water and requiring no electricity, so it makes sense in these times of climate change and saving our precious resources.

So if you are going to make the investment of a water filter, make sure you do some research and decide which kind of filter is best for you.  You can compare models and brands and get an inexpensive water filter to save a few bucks.  But the few dollars you may save getting a cheap water filter will be costly in the long run, and may end up costing you your health.
