Best in line water filter system for home use?

by admin

Has anyone used a home inline water filter system they would recommend
The city water system is really bad.Well know for build up and corrosion.The dogs water bowl builds up with a clear hard like crust on the bottom.You have to scrub it out.The coffee pot needs complete cleaning every month.No smell to water.If this is any clues to a good filter system.

Here’s a site that lists a comparison table of 10 different filter systems, including links to discussions about water filtration.

Last year, I got an Aqua-Safe reverse osmosis system with 6-stage filtration (the RO membrane, one particulate filter, three carbon filters, and one ion exchange filter). It generates 100 gallons per day and comes with a 5 gallon storage tank. It cost about $200 and it came with a 5-year supply of replacement filters, including replacement ion resin beads. It takes my water from about 3000 PPM to under 5 (it even came with a digital PPM meter).

The water that comes out of it is as good as any I have ever tasted. We also have a line running from it to our refrigerator. So, the ice is very clear and the cold water coming from the dispenser is awesome.

I highly recommend a reverse osmosis system, if you have the room and can afford it.

  2. It sounds like you have a hard water problem. Your best option is to take a water sample have it tested and if it is hard water you should install a water softener. Here’s a link that may help you decide what to do.

  3. I have two water filter systems.

    A Culligan reverse osmosis for the kitchen.

    A Multi-Pure carbon activated filter for the bathroom.

    Both have been good products.
