I have a whole house system with 2 big blue filters; one sediment and the other is carbon. Over the past several years I have utlized Pentek products: ECP5-20BB sediment filter; on the carbon side, I have utilized a RFC20-BB or a GAC-20BB.
I change (washout) the sediment filter about 1/month, and replace after about 6 months use. I replace the carbon filter about once every 10-12 weeks, depending on use.
In addition, I utilize potassium choride in order to avoid red rust when operating the sprinkler system.
I have had my water tested on a couple of occasions, no issues.
Questions -Can I improve my water quality in any way/Are there better products that I should consider, such as:
1. Should I consider a 1 micron sediment filter vs the 5 micron I use today?
2. Are there better carbon filter solutions that I should consider? (I have seen reference to MCB-Modified Carbon Block filters, is this a better solution?
3. Any difference between the RFC20-BB vs. the GAC-20BB?
4.Any other advice is appreciated, thanks for listening.
