Here in Charlotte a great many of the outlying communities have or had well water as the only option. My parent's current home is a perfect example. We had to install a filter system, which has elements that look like rolls of twine or yarn. Mom's washer was clogging up at the inlet valve, just like yours, about monthly until we installed the filter. They later got a softener as well. We've had no filter related problems since. Steve's point about keeping the rest of your faucets and water using appliances cleaner is a great one, and this is especially important for the water heater. They can quickly become inefficient when sediment builds up and I believe this can lead to premature water heater failure. Your problem seems significant in how you describe it, and I think a well filter would be an outstanding investment which you'd appreciate daily and may honestly pay for itself quickly. In my view this would be something that you could add as a line item when selling your home eventually. Gordon |
