I live in a 2-3 person household with 3 full baths. Company is providing a 30k grain 1.0 cu ft Clack WS1 and since my city water uses chloramine, I am also getting a backwashing WS1 catalytic carbon tank.

They also did not think a pre-filter is needed for my set up. Is this fine for a city water with no iron concerns? They would otherwise install one for $500 if i wanted to.

Also for the carbon tank, they said the price of a 1.0 cu ft vs 1.5 cu ft catalytic tank is the same price (not sure why) and said I have a choice of either if I wish.

What are pros and cons to getting a bigger catalytic carbon of 1.5 cu ft which is 50% more media than the 1.0 cu ft? They suggest the lifespan is around 7+ years for the carbon media.

Thanks

This store that I am able to purchase it from has two different boxes of the Color Powder. Why would there be different box designs and different amounts?

The first one comes in 4.55kg (70loads) and the second one comes in 4.5kg (75 loads) and both are priced the same.

thanks
