It has been 6 months since I changed it which it recommends and the filter was a dark copper color and the water on the outside of the filter was black. I did go a little over the time it was to change the filter and my water in the house was coming out clear but is this normal? For the filter to be that dark? I use this water for drinking.
The filter is designed to just take out sediment and is made for a 5 person household but there are only two people on the house.
well all bottled water is. is filtered tap water

I’m concerned by the amount of oil burned to truck and fly bottled water around the world so I would rather just drink tap water. What is the best installed water filter system that doesn’t leave the water with out minerals?

I know the salesman had a job to do, and he did it well. I really am interested in the system being installed. Is it worth the 8000 dollars? Less soap needs used, you don’t buy bottled water, they give you a 3 year supply of soaps and detergents. Seems like a good deal. What do you all think?

i’m on a well,so i buy bottled water,but i want to install a whole house water filter and water softener for health reasons.i’m worried about washing clothes and taking showers with the well water my affect my family in an unhealthy way.thanx

This is a two-chamber, under-sink, Reverse Osmosis water filtration system that is under a year old. The two water filters and the water bladder were replaced by the service agent only 3 months ago. Out of nowhere, the amount of filtered water this system generated started slowing to a crawl to where it is not very useful and we are having to buy bottled water in the interim which defeats the purpose of having a home water filtration system.

I know the filters have to be replaced periodically but we have run on previous filters for a lot longer than 3 months in the past with no interruption or slow down of water flow. Running too long on the same filter will degrade the water taste and quality, but thus far, it has never slowed the water output or flow.

Besides calling the service agent to come charge a premium and try to sell us overpriced water filters we may not need, I am availing Yahoo! Answers in hope someone may have a different idea as to what might be going on here. I’ve checked the turn valves and all seem to be in the fully open position. There is just not enough production of filtered water now. Could it be a clog? Or is this what NORMALLY happens when it is time to change the filters?

why is that. it looks like a white dust in the water. If you let it set for a few minutes it will almost completely dissolve. I’d like to know what that is, and if its bad to drink.

the water filter is supposed to be really sophisticated, and be of better quality than arrowhead bottled water.

I just moved into an apartment and the water is awful. When it first comes from the faucet, it tastes fine but smells like metal or rust, but then after leaving it out for a while, it tastes metallic. Would getting a faucet or water pitcher filter give me safe drinking water? Should I start buying bottled water instead of a filter?
This is in Richardson, TX

I use alot of bottled water for drinking and cooking.
