Changing a Sediment Water Filter Cartridge

[corona73]

Do you have any good recommendations/brand names for the pressure valves? 

[aquamanwisdom]

@corona73 If you are referring to pressure gauges, yes. Search for the following part # on the WFN web site: PGB25100L

Thanks so much for posting this! I've been putting off changing my sediment filter because I didn't know what was involved. Now I can go and do this today.

Is it a Jumbo Spun Filter Cartridge,why not use Sting wound FIlter Cartrdige

[WaterFiltersAquaman]

There is a difference in performance between a polypropylene "spun" and polypropylene "string wound" cartridge. Both are appropriate for untreated well water, but the "spun" variety are a depth filter. This means that contaminant is trapped throughout the entire depth of the media. "String wound" cartridges are more likely to capture contaminant on the surface. I am aware of situations where one is much more effective than the other. It takes experimentation to find what works best.

Just wondering...Does the Merlin ro unit need all those post filters? obviously it gives the best result, but how much cheaper & effective would it be compared to just having a good ro unit standalone. Would it get clogged too quickly?

[buckmastertony2]

No. We are filtering the whole volume of water for our facility with the pre-sediment and pre-carbon filters. The Merlin stands alone as a drinking water system on any water supply with less than 2000ppm of TDS (total dissolved solids).

Thanks for the answer. Ive considered getting some sort of RO system for a while. I live in Victoria Australia and the smoke from the bush fires can pollute the water, I live in suburbia but some water catchments are in smoke affected areas. The water is also very alkaline where I live, not good for vegetable gardens or aquariums, without treatment (I happen to like gardening and I have pet fish so its annoying).

Are there any other smaller systems that I should look at? thx
