fresh water whole house filter

The whole house water filter came to mind. At Jamestown Distributors I found a replacement 3M Model B3 it is bigger, (longer), than the B2, and allows more water to flow, 3.5 gpm. Now inside water flow is find. Only draw back the water filter is not cheap, $183.69. The B2 wasn’t cheap last time I got one of them.

You paid too much for the filter. The B3 is much cheaper at JMS on line. Here is a link to them. they are $ 111.33 from them.

Also, at Home Depot or Lowes you can get a 6 Inc diameter by 12 Inc tall whole house filter that drops zero psi, even when using the charcoal filter. I rigged mine so I fill my holding tank via that filter (and a water softener). That took a bit of plumbing. Shore supply is treated the similarly, but was a much easier fix.

You didnt say what model and year your rig is. I found out on mine that the problem is not low pressure but low flow caused by the restrictive built in pressure regulator. A connector without the built in reg helps a lot. Also the stock kitchen faucet is very much below par. A new Delta replacement helps here too.

Bob,

I am having the same problem, the current city inlet is pretty large and the replacements (without the regulator would not be large enough to cover the holes. Where did you get the replacement inlet.

Thanks,

I am planning of getting rid of the stock pressure regulator for the same reasons also. Does anybody that has done this have any suggestions or pictures/processes for this? Thanks for all the help in advance.
