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.

About 4 microns ...............  ;D
sorry but you did ask.  ;)

My system goes ............. 5 micron sediment, granular activated carbon, carbon block .............. membranes,  ;)
I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

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.
