My local city water is quite poor. Clothes washed mildew in the closets, towels are smelly, and wash-clothes could be used for axle lube after being left to dry on the kitchen sink. We complained but the water guy says there is nothing wrong. He takes water samples and disappears. He has blown the line down a few times, but it makes no difference. Some of my neighbors have the same problem, but few admit it. Vinegar and Borax help in the laundry, but tea and coffee taste horrible. I installed a Whirlpool whole house water filter last June and the problem went away. The filter clogs quickly. The 6 month poly (premium 5 micron) filter lasted 3 months. When the first filter failed, (laundry started rotting again) we replaced the poly filter. We also purchased a second unit and placed it tandem with the first and equipped it with a carbon filter cartridge. 3 months later, the primary filter had failed again. We found a similar cartidge that looked like a roll of string. It was labelled as a 5 micron filter. We installed this filter in place of the poly filter in the primary position and all our water quality issues returned, even with a carbon filter in the secondary position. Please advise, as I am totally confused about this situation. Let"s go Mountaineers, Aaron
