Came here a couple of years ago for advice on a clear water iron filter. Had my hopes of a tiny drinking water only system dashed Consensus was whole house chlorine injection, contact tank and some type of carbon filter to remove the oxidized iron and excess chlorine. Real life and an empty wallet intervened...
Just got my tax refund and it is going to happen this year! Is cleanwaterstore.com still a recommended source? They claim free shipping on orders over $100 though I know it is built in to the price.

Some sizing info not included then,
11.51 seconds fill time.
2.2 Gallon draw down.
11.47 GPM
Total Fixture Units: 32
4 adults with an occasional 5th.
Current pressure tank will end up down stream of the filter but it is 23 years old and will probably need replacing in the near future. If I replace (and move) it now, can easily plumb every thing so all outside hose bibs except one will not be filtered, then add them later if my contact tank can handle the load. Seems to be a huge price jump going larger than 40 gallons. Can I get by with a single 40 gallon contact tank for a year or two then add a second if needed? Also seem to recall that larger tanks can not ship Fedex.
