What exactly is this referring to? My neighbor said he has one of these installed that goes before his softener. What exactly is it for?
Thanks

It is exactly as the name implies. It is a filter that all the water for the whole house goes through.
It could mean carbon in a tank or inline filter with a replacable cartridge.
But what particles does it filter out?
It would depend on what particles are in the water to begin with, and what mesh or micron size the filter is. I have a 100 mesh filter that catches grains of sand and can be flushed so it is a permanent filter, not a disposable element.
