Hello folks,
I just installed a water filter and a water softener, and we have noticed a significant drop in water pressure. Additionally the showers now whine because there is not enough pressure to close the valve completely.
I have isolated the issue to the filter. If I put it in bypass mode then it is fine, when I engage the filter again the pressure goes down. I notice this most in the kitchen sink and in the bath tubs.
I installed a GE GXWH20F filter housing and it has the default FXUSC filter in it, which filters down to 5 microns.
The pressure dropped as soon as we installed the filter.
Is there anything we can do short of removing the filter to get our water pressure back?
We have a well not city water.
Thanks,
Eric
