How to Size a Whole-House Water Filter

Whole-house sizing begins with peak flow, not only household size. Count likely simultaneous fixtures, review pipe size and pressure, then match equipment service flow to demand. Water chemistry and contaminant load determine media volume and maintenance frequency. Undersizing can create pressure loss or inadequate contact time; oversizing adds cost and may create operational problems.
