Culligan checked operation and redid gaskets and tells me I have 12 grain water from Chisolm Trail MUD.
Will a GE FXHTC replace the solid plastic model? Or is an Ametek/Pentek RFC- BB filter a better replacement? Both are 25 micron, and I don't know the current micron ratings on the 10" plastic sided filter I am replacing. Any thoughts on the suggested new filter is greatly appreciated!! TIA to all on the forum for sharing your expertise!

Your description of 'solid plastic' is unfamiliar to me. Does the water flow up through the bottom of the filter?
