Users need a tool that can help estimate costs and provide guidance on plumbing repairs, especially for complex issues like relocating water filters and dealing with plumbing installations.
Plumbing was installed so the water softener would be the first stage and they left room on the line so the filtering would take place afterward. These are the options I am looking at. 1) Redo most of the pump house's plumbing to try and accommodate the filter. I would still probably need to go from pex to something more flexible in order to get everything to fit/prevent having to drill more holes through the wall. This might allow the filter I have to fit. 2) Buy a new, smaller, filter that does not have multiple stages of filtration. This would make it so I don't have to redo as much of the plumbing as option 1, but still requires a bit of removal and replumbing. 3) I could just put it down stream of the water softener,but even that is a tight fit and I don't know how much efficiency I would lose by filtering after the softener. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would live to hear them. ((Most places I have seen obviously do not recommend this and would instead recommend filtering before softening. However, I have seen people say that in the grand scheme it doesn't make a big difference which goes first or second (though I have a hard time believing this, but I could easily be wrong.))
