Securing clean water for every tap in your home
In short: Plumbing expert Richard Trethewey demonstrates the essential steps and materials required to install a whole-house water filter. This guide ensures you can provide filtered water to every fixture in your residence.
The installation involves connecting a whole-house water filter to the main cold-water line using copper pipe and solderless brass fittings. To ensure a secure setup, the process requires installing ball valves both before and after the filter to allow for easy shut-offs during maintenance.
Key components include teflon tape for sealing threaded joints and a plywood panel to provide a sturdy mounting surface for the filter's bracket. The project utilizes standard plumbing tools such as pliers, pipe wrenches, a close-quarter hacksaw for cutting pipes, and a cordless drill.
