Filtration System

Any advice on a water filter system? Either at the hookup or at the sink. I'm in a spot with a lot of iron.

  • A whole house filter from Lowes or HD connected at the spicot ahead of the hose for whole house filtration. That is what we do. :)

    I use a double filter system. I got two of the GE brand whole house filters from Lowe's. I use a sediment filter in the first one and a charcoal filter in the second filter. Got the brass fittings to go from 3/4" pipe to garden hose there as well. I bought the more expensive clear filter for the sediment filter since I wanted a visual on it to know when I need to change it. Replacement filters are about $5 a piece. I think the clear filter was like $30 and the other one was like $20. Just remember that this will cause your water pressure to drop somewhat. HTH

    Perhaps both? I like using the inline Camco water filters on a 10' length of potable water hose (so it doesn't put weight/torque on the fill or city water inlet.) Then, one for the sink. The Camco filter works as a prefilter if one has as an inline system, and does a great job at removing stuff.
  • Oh, I thought you wanted to filter something in the forum, as this is Technical Support for the Forum. Because the search feature has a filter button where you can just search the particular area instead the whole site. Or, you can use the advanced search feature.
