Re: Water Filters
Reverse osmosis water filtration.
I am somewhat biased but I used to work for Filmtec making the elements and I know the quality that goes into their filters- would not have any reservations about recommending that brand of filter. |

Re: Water Filters
Are you just wanting to filter out some taste, sand, or debris? Then just get one of those 1" whole house filters even if your line is 3/4". You can use a bigger filter that does not need to be changed nearly as often. Which brand? Since a couple factories make all of them it really doesn't matter.
Here is one: http://www.amazon.com/Flotec-Heavy-W...dp/B0002YU7AC/ Now if you are talking more than that, start by getting your water tested by an independent lab. Once you know what you need you can worry about the brand. I don't mean to sound like I am brushing you off. I ain't. (God knows I desire to help you, if for nothing else to make up for being an ass to you awhile back.) But until you know WHAT you are trying to do with the filter, it's hard to know which type and which brand. Hope this helps. Maybe I am not understanding you. |
