I've had the Nova system for years. Lately there's been a black residue leaching into the toilet bowl. Not sure why.

Do you mind saying when the last time was that you changed the filters? I'm still investigating what system to use. Any information appreciated.

Ah, thanks for another name. Do you like it, and does it soften as well as filter?

Up North, I was a soft water guy. Since I've been in TV, I've gone without.........thinking I don't need it. I really like Pelican. They have good information on their site, good reviews. Most people in TV have Nova.............I not a good crowd follower and I never color inside the lines. |

Thought Nova looked the best in quality and value

I looked at several Water Filter systems, when we first bought in TV, including being bored to death by hard sellers of very expensive systems, but ended up going with NOVA, because their system looked good and the price was very reasonable and the guy who started it, Bob Novak, was very knowledgable about water quality without trying to b——-t me. His son runs the business now and even his grandson does filter replacements. Bob’s family have a lot of Pet Stores (that he started) up in Long Island and they are specialists with fish, some of which are apparently are very fussy about water quality! It’s a pity we can’t just drink beer like our ancestors did, when they didn’t trust water quality 😂😂🍺🍺 ahhh for the good old days 🍺🍺 |

I can understand using a water softener to reduce calcium deposits. But, I don't understand why I would want to filter all the water in my house when most of it is used for showering and flushing the toilet. I am also concerned about the filters being a breeding place for bacteria.

Brita water pitcher. $24.99.

I use one now. Can't fill it up fast enough for all the needs and have to change the filter twice as often as they advertise. It's really a PITA if you do a lot of cooking.
We had a whole-house water filter and softener in our last house. It was such a convenience. No water spots, no fridge filters to change, no waiting for Brita to drip through and fill up a pitcher four times a day, no chlorine/salt taste in the water. No itchy patchy dry skin. Soap and shampoo lasts three times as long. I will have another one soon.

Thanks for the condescending reply. I’m not getting one. Only water quality I care about is how it tastes. For a whole lot less money, a Brita can take care of that requirement. Once again, I ask the question, why filter the entire house water? At $600+ for install, and $150 a year for the filter swap, I don't get it,
