My sink aerators, tempering valve and shower heads are getting clogged with what looks like whitish swarf from cutting plastic, small fuzzy looking chunks. It melts with a match. Can utility work have caused this? I've done no work recently, my supply system has no plastic parts that I know of. The HW is from an indirect. I guess I should install a sediment filter on the main line, but it will have to be a big one, it's for a multifamily, 5 one bedroom units in addition to my unit with 2 baths. I've been told it's a good idea anyhow to extend the life of the standard water heaters.
Any ideas on what I'm dealing with, or even a recommendation on how to size the filter? We use 10-13k gallons per month on a 1" main.
