Can you elaborate?

Like a way to filter all your water? What is your source?

 

[mommabeehilly]

sure. thanks for responding.
we have city water (tank). and yes i am looking for something that will work on all of the water in our house. since our showers/baths are filled with chlorine and who knows what else.

thanks and i look forward to hearing your response.

that looks nice maxymum
was it hard finding someone to install it? it says on the site that a plumber can do it...that's good!

yes, we had a plumber install it even though my husband is very very handy. in fact, i called around to find a plumber that had specific water filter experience, just to be safe. it really isn't a terribly difficult thing though and ANY company should be fine with the installation.

We had one put in when we built our house. We LOVED it, until we realized that the water was causing more copper to leach into our water. We were told that after we moved in, the copper pipes would leach for a little while, and then stop. They never stopped. But, as soon as we turned off the water filter they did. We were getting blue marks in the shower and tub that just kept coming back until we turned off the filter. I really miss the way our shower water smelled and being able to drink from any faucet in the house, but I'd rather have to go use the filter on my fridge than to drink excess copper. I'm going to have to put end-source style filters on our shower heads though and where our bath water comes out (not sure how I'm gonna do this) for the chlorine though.

I think some people have PVC plumbing, but I'm not sure about that. I'm not sure what affect the water would have on those types pipes.
