Since the general subject is water, and not to hijack the thread: My house pumps from the lake. I have a $5 Lowe's filter for sediment that I change every coupe of weeks. After that filter, a large 3 chamber system with a sediment filter, charcoal filter and a UV chamber for bacteria. The theory is the Lowe's filter may catch 90% of the sediment before it gets to the more expensive system.
It works great and I change the large filters and the UV light bulb every year. I have had the water tested and it is rated "drinking quality water".
The problem I have is with white laundry. No matter how much bleach I use the whites get a little less white with every wash. If anyone has had this problem and solved it I would be glad to know how you did it.
