Well Water
Do any of you guys/gals have a filter under your kitchen sink?
What kind and are you happy with it?
I've got well water where I'm at and I'd like to install a secondary filter in the kitchen.

We've had one for 3 or 4 years now it's a GE smartwater. We don't have well water, but the town water had a bad metal taste. Now no problems, even passed a taste test with my finicky wife, a cup of poland springs vs. the tap, and the tap won.
if you install one, make sure its secured well, it can be a bit difficult to unscrew(get the fitted wrench, it makes unscrewwing much eaiser) and that could lead to bending/breaking the waterline feed.

i had a culligan for three years and it was very good.
it got ripped [along with everything else] out when I remodeled, and I probably won't put it back in as my new fridge has filtration.
but some sort of filtration for drinking water is a must with my well.

I have one even though we have town water. It basically came with the house.
Personally, I can't taste any difference between the filtered water and the water that comes out of the tap in the upstairs bathroom. They're both pretty good.

Bloo -
I'm just wondering what is driving you towards getting a filter. Is there something wrong with your water, such as taste? Have you tested it recently? It's pretty inexpensive - $30-$40, ask your well guy. My well water is great, just a little high in sodium, but that's what you get on the cape.

Oddly enough the water tastes fine, we do have a filter system inplace for the well. It's just that every couple of weeks we start to see a blue residue building up in the tub. We had him retest it but he claims it tests fine. He says, "maybe it's the fixtures"....  I don't buy it.
Anyways, I figured I'd install a secondary filter in the kitchen where we get most of our drinking water supply.
Thanks for the feed-back - |
