We have a Kinetico water softener system with a whole-house Kinetico sediment filter at the main water pipe before the softener. I want to replace the sediment filter because Kinetico wants nearly $80 for their paper proprietary filter and it doesn't last very long. I've checked everywhere for a generic equivalent and can't find one.
What do you recommend for an affordable sediment filter or 2 stage water filtration? I'm talking more from a lumberyard or online source. Preferably no more than $300-400 range.
My first requirement is that the filters be affordable and that generic filters might be available so down the road we are not in a bind again. We have a small amount of iron/mineral in our water that discolors the shower calk and plastic stall seals over time. Water tastes great already and is from a top notch regional water works. However it is pumped 5 miles up to our city...like the other suburbs.
