Good video. If you want to give people a size benchmark for microns, a red blood cell is 10 microns. You probably knew that.

Very helpful video, thank you! I found out the hard way about the pressure drop, but it is a really great way to find out that your filter needs to be changed without having to get in an underwear your filters are defined out. Now I just need to get my water tested so I can figure out which filter I would actually need and I’m good to go. Thanks again!

Very well explained! I have well water and I use a single 1 micron filter before my reverse osmosis membrane. That's all. I change it every four to six months, which I arrived at by trial and error. If I used, say, a 5 micron filter the RO membrane would not last long.

What is the difference between Big Blue cartridge filters vs. Big Blue bag filters and why would you pick one over the other? The bag housing seems to have about 3x the cost.

Thank you very much. Usually, filter sets for osmosis water cleaning systems come with 5 Micron, then a carbon granulate filter, and then a carbon block filter before the water enters the osmosis filter. I wonder if it would be better to have the 3rd filter (carbon block) to be replaced with a 1-micron filter to reduce the risk of cysts bacteria. Could you recommend that?
@bootangy2 жыл бұрын
does that work?
@mikey57132 жыл бұрын
It works on my system, mine has a 5 micron, followed by a 1 micron, then 5 micron carbon block, and then 1 micron carbon block to self priming pump then to ro membrane, post carbon filter, alkaline filter, and then two uv filter before going to my water dispenser. And i should add that i remove the ro pressure tank because i think it's a compromise to the system.
@mikey57132 жыл бұрын
Im just wondering if it's possible to change the 1 micron carbon block with .5 micron, im planning to do it maybe in my next filter change.

Great information, but using music in this video was a mistake. It's only audible enough to be distracting and annoying, as if someone else in your office neglected to shut the radio off. I would consider doing the video over, exactly the same way, but without any music. You don't need it.

For City water, can I put two water filters before a water softener? A sediment & then a carbon, to protect the water softener, or will that restrict flow too much? I wanted to then have the line then split to a R/O line & the regular line, & put a carbon on the water regular line going to the showers & sink. Concerned about water drop flow rate with 3, 4 filters

Actually, that's about what you would expect. Use 2 20-in Big Blues, as they allow IIRC 1.6M's (Bout 175 psi) and they last bout a year with the really good filters with light use.

Thank you for your informative videos. Q: For a 1600 sq ft home with 1.5 baths in about a Texas city what is the optimal micron size for lime or hard water scaling. I absolutely don't want a salt water softner that water feels slimy to me & I want to drink tap water don't want salt in my water. Also Can I mix & match filter container (s) with filters? My budget is small.

1. If well water. .. Source - 50 micro spin-down pre-filter (t) - 2 Big Blue 20's - One sediment- One Metal and Chlorine - Water Hammer Arrestor - Supply. If city, same as above except replace the 50 with something like a 15 since its mostly just chemical and metal you're removing. Basically, this set up will do ya good in general. Go for something swinging below the 10 micron belt, but aim for 1 micron in general. Thats basically what you'd except from something like Brita, except a tad bit better.
