Do water filters help? You decide!
Just changed my filter set after about 11 months. Just 2 of us with relatively low water use (other than lots of flushing!). The bright white one in front is obviously the new one. The one on right is 1st in line (25micron, the 2nd is 10micron and the final filter is 5micron carbon block.). All that gunk would have been in our clothes, food & hair. Yuch. I cut open the first one and the dirt goes about 95% through it. This is not an advertisement for any particular filter so brand is not listed.We live in Amelia near Colony if it matters. https://i.ibb.co/gwSHPmM/2019-01-03-13-34-19.jpg |
We've had Nova water filtration systems in both of the homes we've owned here in TV. Wouldn't be without them.

They do the trick. We have the Nova filters as well as their softener system which really made a difference in the water quality.
|
Where is your filter located, in the garage? Are they easy to connect? Would this go before or after a water softener. Thanks

Check out Skip Smith on YouTube. Skip just did a video in the last couple days with the owner of Nova changing his filters and discussing them as well as the water softener.

I would assume before (why would you send dirty water to the softener?) but not sure. Mine is in my garage where main water valve is located. It could be anywhere BEFORE the first faucet. |

The water tastes amazing. Showering with the potassium chlorided water as opposed to the salt leaves you feeling squeaky clean. |
Has anyone sent a used filter to a lab to see what is in it?
|
We have used Nova system for the last two years and are very happy. Had difficulty getting past the taste and now, no problem. Also,do not need to have a water filter in our refrigerator since all our potable water is filtered as it enters the house. Did not see a need for water softener system at this time.

I have heard good things from friends who have a Nova Water Filter.
My question is does it get rid of (what I think is) Calcium that leave residue and deposits on everything? |

Those look exactly like the one they pull out of ours. I called the water department to see why there is so much sediment in the water and they told me that was normal. They were going to have a manager call, but that has happen after a week.
Really glad we have ours, no stinky water and you can actually drink it. Skip's video was great. |

Here's the breakdown of the spots, 10-15% calcium, 85-90% sediment. The sediment sticks to the calcium, without a softener the Nova WHF will remove the all the sediment the remaining calcium is almost hard to see with the naked eye. So two choices, clean it up 6-12 months with CLR for $3 or add a softener in addition to the WHF. 85% of of the homes in the main part of TV use only the WHF 15% added a softener, so it is not mandatory it is an option. In Fenney the water has a higher calcium level there about 45% have our softener. Again many are satisfied with just the WHF @ only $575+tax A softener added to the WHF is $899 . |
