Post by: geefree on January 17, 2011, 05:05:33 pm

Hi,

Before the RO I have a 5 micron sediment filter and a carbon/chlorine filter.  Not sure if you are trying to use two sediment filters.  Indeed, one suppler said I would be able to have a carbon/chlorine filter only and dispense with the sediment filter - I've never done that though.

Thanks,

dont suppose it will matter about two types of carbon , as one of them should be only for taste and odour,.. which does not make any difference to us.
