Re: Whole House Filter
Quite awhile back, I saw a water filter system on eBay....I don't know if it had a regulator, but it was a sand or silica medium and a timed backwash. $200 or so...and i haven't seen it since.

Re: Whole House Filter
Pressure is really not the issues its GPMS required that is the issue. A filter with 1/4 inch inlets will not supply a house, however 3/4" or 1" will. GPMS is how you size a filter.

Re: Whole House Filter
And more info is needed. What kind of filters, what do you need the filters for, etc.,etc. If you are filtering something that will clog the filters fast, that will greatly reduce the flow in a short time depending on the size of the filters.
