Hello,
I am building a new home and cofused about how I want to filter my water.
We have Chicago water from Lake Michigan. I would like to remove the chlorine.
On some other forums, I read that using a whole house filter to remove chlorine could cause bio slime in some runs of pipe that are not used frquestly (to outdoor house bibs in the winter, basement slop sinks, etc). Is this a real concern? If so, should I just filter the water where I want to drink it?
If I filter the kitchen water only, can I use one inline filter that will filter the kitchen sink and ice maker, but not require a special faucet at the sink? Does the filter have to be a large tank under my sink or is there something smaller that I could place in the line in the basement?
I have tried to search for the answers, but haven't really found anything.
Thanks in advance,
Al
