Personally, I don't recommend carbon as an initial filteration (bacteria infestation and such) on well waters but it may be OK for your situation. 5lbs of sand is not a very deep bed but may be adequate for light filteration. The carbon would beed to be replaced after a given period of time as breakdown and adsorption eventually exhaust the media.
But at about $300 plus dollars, it might be a good choice. If I could rebed it, I would replace the carbon with Filter Ag. I have looked at them, too. I don't recommend their softeners as their failure rate is rather high and that would be the only thing putting me on the fence about this one. I just can't speak on the reliability and effectiveness of this one.

Is there one you would recommend. I have a UV and the softener but the silt or what ever it is still gets through. Cost me 140 to repair the washer last week so a good filter is worth paying for.
