Hi everyone,
I recently bought a house and inherited a pretty messy water treatment setup, so I’m planning to replumb the entire system.
Right now the order is: pump → pressure tank → iron filter → softener → 2.5×20 cellulose filter → UV.
I have a few questions:
1) I’m planning to add a Big Blue sediment filter — should it go before or right after the pressure tank?
2) I also want to add a spin-down filter before the 2.5×20 filter.
3) The current piping is a mix of PEX, copper, and PVC. I have a stockpile of Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings — can I use that to replumb the system up to the UV outlet, or would it be better to stick with PEX?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
