What about filters that are a combination of a pleated filter on the outside gradually going from 25 micron to 5 micron and then finishing with carbon inside? I'm guessing that means the water flows into the outside of the filter then seeps into the interior then shoots out to the home from the center. But is that combo filter as effective?

I know i'm late to reply but the water pressure issue is likely caused by too small of a pressure tank being used, or if the pressure remains low even after the pump turns on it could be an undersized pump.

So nice of you

Thanks for watching!

You're welcome!

You bet

Glad it was helpful!

Right you are, good catch!

Clear canisters are definitely nice to have. You'll know when to change the filters when the water pressure starts to get unbearably low. The more plugged they get the less water they allow through.

Yes, on the house side of the pressure switch

After changing filter my water still smell like rotten eggs sulfer😊

If your water filter gets clogged even once without you noticing it could burn up the pump since the pressure switch has no way of knowing that the filter is clogged. The benefits don't outweigh the risks in my opinion.

@@RCworstwater thanks chris

Inc. isn't there some type of pressure switch that could prevent this situation. lile a blo-off valve

@@timjohnson6864 no pressure switch on a well bladder tank . Keeping grit out of everything down stream , gauges , pressure switch , etc., is cheap insurance, i think . Plus the filter is easy to change in the well house , not under the house floor / crawl space.

savage you miss understood what I was saying similar to how a water heater works once the pressure. gets to high it opens a valve to relieve the excess pressure just like the other guy had said a water filter before everything can protect it but can also cause excessive and potentially destructive pressure where as some type of pressure relief valve should in theory prevent a hazzard or excess damage

No need. The housing is sealed via an O-ring. Teflon tape would only make that seal harder to achieve.

1 no vaseline will shrink o ring

Use food grade silicone for o-rings

After the pump. If you put a filter in the suction line you risk starving the pump of water and it burning up.

@@RCworstwatercheers for the response

Use a wrench and slide a 2-3' PVC "leverage" pipe over the wrench to increase the power applied. In the future, you should clean the O-ring and o-ring channel, as well as apply a food-grade lubricant to ensure it comes off easily.

Make sure water pressure has been released, buy a second wrench, two wrenches make it real easy

Shock you well regular and your bladder will get cleaned out as you fish the well good luck

Flush

@@mycatmycat3786 Thank you for the advice. I think I've heard that elsewhere. Could you explain to me how Chlorine shocker tablets will prevent sludge, though? That seems weird. Thank you!

@@sethmoking Sludge is more likely a iron bacteria or some other TDS so sanitation or the well will kill the bacteria there for no sludge. Good luck.

The issue is, if you have it pre holding tank, you would be replacing media more often (I install, and maintain filters) From homes to industrial. I had to cut one out pre holding tank because the filter media was hit with constant pressure. And it caused “channeling”. The cure to this is to flush your holding tank, but install all filters post pump system (pressure tank and switch). And the filters to be backwashing. Some run “down flow” vs “up flow” in and out valves. So that means if the water isn’t used (stagnant) for a period of time, the media (depending on what is used in the mineral tank itself), the media can lock up causing channeling. Automatic backwashing valves will backwash on a certain time (generally between midnight and 0200) to stir up the media and wash it out. And then you have flow rates. 1” vs 3/4” lines. There are so many variations, and issues on their own that go along with certain filters. Most sellers would ask “What does your water look like?”. I run water through a lab and custom build filters, and program filter valves to meet the needs of water filtration. Also!! Bleach your well! How deep is the well? 1 gallon per 100ft of well depth is recommended. Bypass filters. And run your spigots, and faucets, until you smell bleach/chlorine. Let it sit for at least 12 hrs. (This kills IR bacteria, and also helps oxidize iron in the well) Post 12hrs (the very least is 12hrs). Run water until you don’t smell bleach/chlorine, and then turn the filters to service, backwash them right away! And let it run its entire course.. I highly recommend Fleck, they are a good, sturdy filter valve! And you can use them on IR/Neut. filters. I can go on and on. Anyway. I hope that some info helps. And I LOVE doing what I do!! (Help people to get CLEAN and HEALTHY water!)

That is correct - any filters need to be AFTER the pump, pressure switch, and pressure tank. If your filters get clogged the pump will run until it overheats.

@@RCworstwater Thanks

Good question. If you place the filter before the pressure switch then the pressure switch will not shut the pump off when the filter inevitably gets clogged.

@@RCworstwater Ahhh., makes sense. Thanks for your reply. Great job on the videos.
