Are Water Filters a Major Concern

I'fe got one ceramic filter that .09 micron but doesn't flow great and is a bear to clean. So...I'm going to order a 10x4 ceramic off the net. They will get all the nasties and use the other filter for pre filtering sediment etc.
See what you think about the Doulton ceramic imperial sterasyl OBE:

The spec sheet in the 10" x 2.5" OBE one I bought says the flow rate is 2.3 gpm. I like the fact that you can clean and re-use this filter up to 50 times. I'm impressed with the flow rate in my test setup. It's bacteriostatic and has over 90% efficiency at 0.05 microns and 100% at 0.9 microns. Of course, you'll need a good sediment filter(s) ahead of it.
I am curious why you would use a 4" x 10" filter (aka Big Blue, or BB for short)? That housing is pretty darn big for an RV and you can decent flow rate with a 2.5" x 10" filter. Even after the UF ultrafiltration filter I have after the Doulton filter, I am getting really good flow from a 2.5x10" UF filter. I can't see the need for a 4" unless you want more like 10 gpm...
