We live in Delaware near the beach, and our well water, like most in this area has the sulfer (rotten egg smell). Water company we spoke with already recommends water softener, carbon filter and chlorine injection. Thousands of dollars, plus I would rather not have chlorine. Since the filter in our refrigerator removes the odor as far as that water and the ice is concerned, albeit only about four months and not the six you would normally get; I was going to install a whole house filter and use the carbon duel purpose filter thinking it would help with the odor and even if we replace the filter every month I would be happy. Am I just hoping for an inexpensive fix and basically wasting my time and money?
Second question? The filter housing is for 3/4"pipe, and where it will be installed, my plastic pipe is 1". Is it ok to simply reduce going in and out? If my memory is correct, the last time I installed a whole house filter it actually came with fittings for both 3/4" and 1".
Of course, if answer to question 1 is I'm wasting my time and money; no real need to answer question 2.
Thank you in advance for your time.
