A DIY Whole House Water Filtration System Using Pentek Big Blue and GE

[@volcolby]

How do you prefer your drinking water and shower water? Slightly silty? Chlorine tasting? A little rusty?

Your pressure gauges are only relevant when water is flowing. The "static" (no flow) pressure is unchanged by filter restriction. The pressure change for a given restriction increases as the rate of flow increases. So, for example, in my house those pressure gauges are only indicating the problem when the flow is near maximum, such as when multiple uses are active including filling a tub or two at full flow.

I agree and should have been clearer about their purpose.

Well I don’t mind unfiltered water, but my sister can only drink filtered so this is useful 😄

One could set up a dual system. Of course in this one, there are a couple of water sources where the H2O is unfiltered. The dog in my house prefers unfiltered, 2nd to rain water.

Pretty sure I'm in that photo with Manning as well, if that helps move that pic upstairs. Guessing it won't. As for filtration, I like my water like I like my cigarettes: unfiltered.

Peyton has that picture on his wall too. And he points you out.
