Whole house water filter with drain tap

[Stephen Tashiro]

Is there a brand of whole house sediment filter that has a drain tap?

Changing the cartridges on whole house water filters would be more convenient if the container had a drain tap on the bottom. For example, this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbqEqHmE2Vs shows a guy adding his own drain tap to a filter.

I'm interested in finding a whole house sediment filter of this style that has a drain tap: https://www.amazon.com/Culligan-WH-H...13323540&psc=1 That style is transparent and I think the container is made of a different plastic than the container shown in the video.

The big blue series worked out great for me

Pick up some 20" carbon filters and yuo will eliminate sediment and odors

We had sediment up the wazoo and changed the filters every 2 weeks. Then we had an iron filter installed. About $2500.
We no longer use the filters, and I ran a line after the iron filter and before the softener up to the kitchen sink for drinking and plants.
I've considered taking the softener off line.

That’s not a bad idea, those 20" Big Blue bulbs are super awkward to change when they’re full. If you’re just looking to capture heavier particulates, a simpler solution would be to install either a Rusco or an Atlas Filtri spin-down filter that can just be flushed out when necessary. Can always add a 20" Big Blue after that if you feel there’s still too much material getting through.

I’d also recommend getting your water tested annually by a qualified lab if you’re on a well.
