We built our own house here in the NC mountains at elevation 3200 feet thirty years ago, and I have gravity water coming out of a bold spring above the house.
I have it piped a short distance from the spring head into a 250 gallon tank which is approximately 60 feet higher in elevation than our house, and then a pipe coming from the bottom of the tank down to the house.
I am thinking of putting a whole house filter right where the pipe enters the house.
My question is will a whole house filter cause any change in the pressure if I keep it perfectly clean?
I don't need any comments about freezing, etc. I am just concerned that it might lower the pressure.
