I am buying a house with two full baths and one half bath. the master bath comes with jacuzzi jet.

The town water is yellowish, with sediment, and rust in the hot summer month.

How much does it cost to get licensed plumber to out in a whole house sediment filter for the water supply ?

You could do it yourself, if you are handy and can sweat pipe. A few guys at work have done the same thing. They made up a system with 2 filters. That way they could transfer the flow to one and when the filter got dirty, they close two valves and open the other two and use the second filter while they change out the first one to get it ready when the second one gets dirty. All it will cost is the 2 filters and 4 ball valves and some 90 deg elbows and a length of pipe. If this is a new house you may have the plastic pipe and that will make the job even easier.

If you get a plumber, I would guess about 3-500 in labor plus parts.

good luck with the new house.

www.waterfilters.net Aquaman demonstrates how to change a Sediment Water Filter Cartridge and offers some useful tips on general maintenance ...

Changed the filter and there is still black sediment in my drinking water. Without the filter, there is no black sediment.

Any advice? Besides remove the filter (not an option, I have a baby)

Check the directions on the filter package. some filters require you to run a certain amount of water through the filter to get rid of the excess charcol. Also if you are still getting the same color of water, then I would return the filter to the store and get another one as it might be defective.

Good Luck :-)

I have a 20BB Big Blue Sediment Water Filter in my home and the rubber O-ring that fits around the top of the canister is old and stretched a little, does anyone know where I could find one? I could always try and take it to home depot and find one that may work, but I'm hoping that someone might know exactly where to find the same o-ring online, I've searched and searched and haven't found it. Thanks for your help.

Go to any Mom & Pop hardware store, not the big box stores like Home Depot or Lowe's. Might try the link below, also.

Always with well water or in most rural areas. I would put a sediment filter on any water softener to make it last longer.

If your water is too hard put in the best you can find, it'll pay for itself.

I had a PUR but it did'nt do anything for my water.

PUR is actually one of the best on the market if you are getting the right filters for it. They actually remove more from your water than any other faucet type filters. You might want to consider a whole house filter if the water is that bad. You can get a good one at Sears..They are salt filters that you just add salt and the chemical uses salt water to clean itself during the back wash cycle. Depending on how hard and dirty your water is you will have to put in a bag of rock salt anywhere from once a week to every few months. They are easy to install. Just cut into the main water line in the house and hook the incoming water into the inlet and the outgoing line in the other side. Plug it into 110VAC, set it to back wash when it is convenient for you, probably at night while you sleep, and then just enjoy clean water. If it is bad to drink and cook with, it is bad to bath with also.
