The WGB32B-PB whole house water filter is an ideal "point of entry" filtration system for cleaning up well water. Unlike "point of use" RO systems that are installed to supply water to a specific faucet, the WGB32B-PB filters water from the source. This means water from every output will have passed through the three filtration stages. The stage 1 housing holds a 5-micron high-capacity polypropylene sediment filter. It removes dirt and other larger sized particles from the water. The second stage houses a 5-micron CTO coconut shell carbon block filter. Block carbon is more effective than other forms of carbon in that it is finely ground up carbon packed into a solidified block. This means they have a higher density than other types of carbon filters, and are therefore more effective in removing their targeted contaminants. The carbon block filter knocks out bad tastes and odors, removes over 90% of chlorine, and is highly effective on chemicals like pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals. The third stage houses an iron and lead reducing filter. It reduces filter removes potassium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, radium, chrome, manganese, iron, nickel, copper, silver, zinc, cadmium, mercury, aluminum, tin, and lead.
I'm looking forward to getting this unit installed, but at the moment it has proved to be problematic for installing at our home. Tried to do it myself, but the setup is a bit challenging. A plumber came out and said the way our main water pipe comes into the house, we are going to need to reroute the pipes to find a suitable place to store these fairly large tanks. So I would recommend that you carefully look at your main water supply line where it comes into your house and make sure you measure the space and area where these pipes are located. Hopefully it will be an easier installation for you. Will update this review once the installation is completed.. Tom. Anaheim, CA. Thu Jan 13 2022
