HI Andy,It seems you are the expert here. I have a home 40 years old back in the woods next to the Potomac river.
The river is about 100 feet from the house and on a small cliff, may be 40 feet. We have well water with a softener on it which helps get most the sediment out of the water but some still get past it and leaves stains on the sinks.
I want to put a whole house system like the Lowe's Whelj1 by whirlpool. it will have to go before the softener because we have problems once in a while with the sediment clogging up one of the small holes on the softener.and also need clean water without salt for watering plants. Can you think of a better filter? We have tried the filter pack type but they are a pain to replace as often as needed. There are only 5 people on the system and most of them are not around much we just have very dirty water. The one problem I can see in installing the whole house filter is the drain. We would have to pump it up and out of the house. Any suggestions on the best way to clean the water up before the softener? I might add with the softener on the water looks clean and does a fairly good job when before the softener the water looked dirty. Thanks
