Wondering if anyone has any +/- experience with these. Not talking about the reverse osmosis or other monolithic expensive filtration systems, just the big plastic can with a sediment/carbon filter in it.
We currently have a water softener installed which is about to be rendered useless by changing our water from well to city water, which is already soft. I had the bright idea that when I remove the softener, I could stick one of those $50 GE/Culligan/etc filters. Its a 5 minute job with a wrench.
There are some 3/4" and 1" units. I'm tempted to go with the 1" unit for the larger filter and likely higher water pressure. But the unit and filters cost a lot more than the 3/4" ones. my pipes are all 3/4", but the connection to the water softener adapts up to the 1" water softener connections already.
Anyone have either of these? Does the 3/4 impede water pressure at all? Do the carbon filters actually provide any useful benefit?
One of the main reasons why I think it'll be a good idea is that the city is cutting in water meters to every house, and have been replacing all the water pipes in the streets. I expect PLENTY of dirt and sediment in the water for a little while at least...
