Now the reason I'm bringing this up is when they installed it, they cleared my hot water tank and told me that it would never have to be clear again. Now you might believe that was just a sales pitch, but I was also changing my refrigerator water filter every 6 months. My frig would give me a warning that the filter had to be change and of course I would ignore it, until the flow would start to slow down to a trickle. I haven't changed it in years. Maybe you should look into this, not only will you not have to clear your tank every so many years, but you'll also have clean water running throughout your house.

I agree and love our water now. For those that say there is no need for this, we always had a layer of film on the top of hot drinks and the iced tea pitcher and well, maybe it won’t kill me but the the pitchers and glasses no longer attract this film.
And don’t hate on Villages Plumber, $250 is probably the lowest price they charge for a trip to the house. They did a two day project for me and after various quotes with other plumbers, they were the average price but they were able to show up sooner than most.
I was able to just remove the filter from the fridge as I read somewhere that you don’t need it with whole house filtration systems although some fridges squawk if no filter is in place.
I change my house filters myself once a year for $85.
