In my April 2019 column, I wrote about the use of cartridge filters in a water system. This column builds on those thoughts. Please remember what you are about to read is from my own experience over many years, and your experience may be different.
The subject of using a cartridge filter got my attention due to an infomercial on TV. We have DirecTV that comes through a satellite dish and while we have many channels, a lot of them are not worth one’s time — at least in my opinion. We have jewelry sales, shoe sales, sales of all kinds of things at a big discount. Perhaps the most nutty channel of all is the one with the program, “Naked and Afraid.” (However, the people aren’t really naked.) We do have a few good movie channels and six or eight sports channels. These are what I usually watch. But on a recent evening, I was flipping through the channels and came upon a program that promoted water softening by use of a cartridge filter.
