We live in Arizona, Gilbert just S.E of Phoenix. We have been experiencing a ring in the washer that we just can seem to get rid of( it wipes away, kind of sticky, but always comes back in a wash or two) the color is just the same as the dirt outside for the most part.
We also have a water softener( see my other post), i notice as well that there is a buildup of sediment ( same color )on the salt in the brine tank. The softener is outside, and plumbed into the main line.( outside as well)
I thought i would add a sediment filter to the line and see if this might help the line is the washer. We don't really notice that anywhere else, but we do get an orange/pink kind of scum that cover the porcelain under the waterline in the main toilet, which wipes away easily.
I also have the water quality report from our town, but i cannot understand the specifics(pdf) if anyone would care to look at it i could send it to them.
Several questions:
For the best flow rate should i get a 10x3 a 20x3 or a 10x 4.5
Should i plumb this in before of after the softener.
Should i use a combination activated charcoal filter or just the sedment filter.
Is eBay a good place( seems cheapest) to purchase.
Suggestions on which unit( i was looking at pentek, a culligan and a big blue as they all had ratings above 145 degrees, its going to be outside in phoenix in the summer).
