Water filter plumbing and cartridge questions?
We have the standard 10” whole house water filter in the water bay of our 2015 DS4369. I replace it every 3-6 months (usually 35-50 days/nights of use). We are not full timers. I thought I had (or saw) a drawing of the water system (at one time) that showed how the on board & city water were plumbed, along with check valves, water pump, etc. I used to think the filter was positioned between the house and the two water sources. Now I’ve seen a couple references indicating water is being filtered from the inbound city line, before filling the freshwater tank and before directly flowing to house lines.
Can someone confirm where in the supply lines this dang filter is plumbed?
Also, I’ve been using 10 or 5 micron filters with satisfactory water quality results. But does a 5 micron filter noticeably reduce pressure from city side (no pump) (compared to a 10 micron filter )?
Thanks in advance !!
