Default filter

We were bleaching clothes because of chlorine reading of above 4ppm. (swim pool is around 1.5ppm) Installed GE filter housing GXWH40L with a FXHTC filter that removes Chlorine.(now less than 1ppm). Bought from Home Depot and installed myself. Cost about $200 with shut off & bypass valves. My one mistake was buying a clear canister. After 7 weeks the white filter now looks like rust & mud. I am not sure I want to know what I use to drink! The down fall to removing the chlorine is you have to clean the toilets more often. Buy a test kit from a swim pool store and do some very basic test yourself. Test different times of the day. I found chlorine to be highest in early AM.
