We live on a well that produces clean tasty water, but which has some sediment in it. There is enough sediment that it clogs up the washing machine intake, and the faucet screens. We were told by the folks who installed the well pump that we need a whole house sediment filter; they sell the American Plumber Heavy Duty Water Filter for $55. My questions are:
1.) Is this a good solution?
2.) There seem to be many filters out there; what's the best(price and performance) for what seems to be a moderate problem
3.) Should the filter go on before the pressure tank? If not, where?
4.) Do I need to drain the hot water tank and the pressure tank-the well has been there for five years, but this is a vacation house that gets used about 2 months per year.
