Default Re: Whole house water filtration-any advice?

I have a cistern that collects rainwater. Water goes into a 10,000 gallon underground holder(cistern) that is divided in two by a cinderbrick wall. The water where the house intake has been filtered thru this wall. The intake is a couple of inches above the floor to avoid settled crap. We have two Omni filters, the first a sediment filter, the second a carbon filter. They get changed every coupla months depending on. The unit is sealed, so the only "bad" thing that gets in it is bird poop and whatever nasty the rain water brings in. I throw in a cup or two of Clorox every once in a while when we expect rain(to mix it well.)

It's gotten so that I can't drink water at most restaurants because of the chlorine taste.

I called a friend who is on a well system. His advice was to call your county and find out who is knowledgeable about what water quality issues are in your area and what techniques are being used. Check around and find any farm supply stores or granges in your area. Don't ask so much about systems, but find out who really knows about the issues with the water and is the one everyone asks filtration questions to. A bit of work, but probably only a few phone calls and maybe a couple of hours talking to people in person on a Saturday.
