I have a Culligan Super S whole house filter. Over the last few days I have noticed a yellow/brown discoloration of the water.
I engaged the bypass and ran the water through the house and it came out clear, so I am sure the problem is with the unit and not with the plumbing or the city water.
I backwashed the system but the discoloration remains. From what I have read, the problem may be with the compressor. Manuals indicate that the compressor should reach at least 65 psi. I tested and it at approximately 90 psi, but it is a bit noisy.
I have let the water run for awhile (both hot and cold) and the discoloration won't go away. This has all happened rather suddenly. The system seems to be working fine other than the discolored water.
If the compressor is working normally, what else in the system might be causing the sudden discoloration?
