I once installed a whole home filtration system in a house in The Bronx and it failed within a week. We removed the filters and inspected the system. What we found was astonishing. The filter was completely clogged with a bright orangy-brown mud. We cleaned it and the system worked again for only a day or so. That’s when I first knew there was deep trouble with the Bronx pipelines. This experiment tonight just reinforces my suspicions. Try it for yourselves. Fill your tub with water- enough for bathing- put a rag over the strainer, and open the drain. See if you get rings like we did. Many people will blame old pipes in the building, but if you’re in a newer construction and get the same result, we know it’s the city pipes. Installing a spin-down filter before your whole house filter can help prevent sediments from building up and clogging your filtration system. I highly recommend filtering your water for drinking and laundry. Do you have sediments in your water, discoloring your toilet, cloths, and clogging your airators and filters?
