Great, thanks. Can you please make a video of how to install carbon and sediment starting from cutting the main copper line and putting it all together. Im looking to purchase this from your website but nervous about cutting the main line :o lol

Thanks

@progression101 I will put it on the list, but it may be some time before we get to it. We typically have a production list over 100 in length. I suspect if you look here on youtube you will find something about cutting and soldering copper lines. I know it's intimidating, but I've done it and it's actually quite easy. You simply need to follow the step by step process.

@aquamanwisdom i found tons of stuff on soldering it, thanks :). Another quick question. Im in a very large house (about 9500 sq ft) so there are tons of faucets that need good pressure. Im worried about pressure drop from multiple people using water at the same time. What kind of system would you recommend for me. Thanks. I would like a sediment pre filter of possible before the carbon stage.

@progression101 For a home that large, you should probably give strong consideration to an automatic backwash carbon filter. this will look alot like a softener, but will obviously contain carbon. It will automatically clean itself periodically based on the # of gallons used. This will undoubtedly be more economical. You can install a 20-BB with a sediment filter cartridge before the system to reduce overall sediment.

The tall one is a softener resin tank, and the short one is the salt brine tank for regenerating the softener.

great vid, but you forgot to disinfect with chlorine water.

[aquamanwisdom]

@nhojcam That's a fair point. It's a good idea to clean the sumps and disinfect them with a mild chlorine solution. One should also wash their hands and/or wear rubber gloves to avoid contaminating the filter cartridge with bacteria. Just FYI, I washed my hands before filming this video :~)

Aquaman, Excellent job of giving a very detailed video of 'How To' properly change a whole house water filter with all the do's and don'ts properly explained! But I believe that if you actually wore an Aquaman costume while posting these videos you might get more hits. Albeit you might get some rude comments as well. But I think it would be a GREAT idea and great for your business as well! It's always the crazy commercials and videos that people remember. Ta da ... Aquaman to the rescue! :-)
