I recently had a Navien NCB-250/150H combi boiler + continuous hot water system installed and the literature says that the hot water maker plate and frame style heat exchanger is susceptible to plugging. I want to get a whole house water filter system installed to remove the dirt/scale that the town stirs up during its quarterly flushing of the street water mains. I have made a few calls and everyone wants to sell me a water softener system which I don’t want or need.
Does anyone here have experience with a whole house water filter (not a water softener) and can give me some manufacturer and capacity recommendations. Single family home, two bathrooms + kitchen and laundry. I would be doing the filter changes myself.
You can start with a single filter housing and expand if you need.
I'd recommend a pentair " big blue" housing 4.5 x 20 if you can find space if not pull back to a 4.5 x 10 match the input diameter as closely as you can to your line.
By purchasing a standardized housing (either 4.5x10 or 4.5X 20 ) you open up to a world of high quality filters most notably pentairs amazing combo filters that are both sediment and carbon filter.
You simply plumb it in at the point of entry and you are off to the races.
