OK Thanks, lol on the expenditure...thing is I just renewed/upgraded my tank and hardware and a neighbor is pushing for a water district of 11 at a cost of 40k ea. over a 30yr.bond! what a joke, I'm broke. Yet the main coming to many just a 1/8 mile away in a "different" town is free due to a town project? Sucks.....I hope we don't get it cause I can't afford it...
I googles ecopure...
As a stand-alone filter, I would not recommend it for any imaginable water treatment solution except maybe keeping junk out of the toilet or some other not important water usage. These are little more than an expensive spin down filter with a (relatively large mesh size) screen filter to remove visible particles (+- 60 microns).
By the time this becomes "useful" the water is already too dirty to leave as is and additionaly equipment would be required. In fact it is quite hard for me to think of any situation where this could be helpful.
These are sold, typically, at bigbox stores and are aimed at those with little understanding of water conditions and appropriate treatment. Sold by personnel that has little understanding of the product, by a store that neither installs or services it, and a manufacturere that doesn't trust it past one year.
My advice: understand your water conditions first before buying any treatment equipment and remmeber--going cheap can be very costly.

That don't sound promising...
