I'm looking for a water filtration solution that works as well as water distilliation -- a single unit or multiple units that remove *EVERYTHING* from the water.

I have inquired Polar Bear distillers about whether their systems could be used on a whole house and they told me that they could not -- is this true? Couldn't multiple distillers, or distillers linked to larger storage tanks be used together?

What are some of the products out there and how can these products be installed and/or linked together? Can you use a softener, a Reverse-Osmosis and a UV filter all at once, for instance? Are there systems that do all of this without having to "chain" them together?

Please do not let cost considerations inhibit replies -- I would like to know about systems in all price ranges. Thank you!

I put in a Rayne system to do just this. It can be used with a Reverse Osmosis and UV filter at the same time. They are expensive units, but mine came with a lifetime warranty. Glad it did, too, because my pressure regulator blew the tank and even though it was caused by something outside of the unit, they replaced it for free.

The various items I use for filtering and purifying water when backpacking. Covers pre-filtering, microfilter hand pumps like the MSR Miniworks ...

We have a well that produces good water, but at different times of the year, the water becomes cloudy, brown, etc. The well is nowhere near the septic tank, of course, so any filtering system that contains a backflush process is out of the question...nowhere for the waste water to go.

The system has a pressure pump (set to 55 PSI) and a large accumulator tank. From there, the 2" pipe goes to irrigation and to the house. I know I'll have to re-plumb most of that to separate the outside from the house water. What kind of filter do I need? There are only 2 of us, so our use isn't huge. I just want to keep the discoloration and scale down. This is Oregon and the water is fairly good. We will continue to use either Brita or a filter for the drinking water. There seems to be a very wide range of products from $10 to well over $1000. I just want to find something that works. Not sure if I need to worry about UV??? Thanks
I've used Culligan elsewhere. Overpriced to say the least, but that system requires backflush...where the flushing water must go into a septic tank/sewer...which is not accessible.

County doesn't provide a testing service here...
The output of the pump and accumulator goes directly into the concrete of the well-house. Two pipes...one for irrigation and one for the house. They are connected with no backflow device as they are inside the building. Pipe now goes to a valve then Ts to the house line (in concrete) and to a 2nd valve that Ts to the irrigation line (in concrete) and to a faucet attached to the outside.

I need to re-plumb so I have more control (to turn off house but leave on irrigation, etc), and I can figure that out...but where and how and what sort of backflush relief can I get...and I don't want the released water to fall inside the wellhouse. Any links to what I need to buy/do? Thanks...backflush is clearly a concern now..

A pair of 20" cartridge filters in the 0.3 micron range should do it. The housings are up to $100, but thge replacement carts are a few bucks. Monitor the pressure drop across the filters to determine time to C/O carts.

You would only need UV if you were worried about bacteria in the water. Then ozone is better, I think.
