I've got no problem with the sand in the water, but the faucet and showers valves do. And I'm sick of replacing them every few years because the sand is blasting them on the insides.
I wonder if the sand is coming all the way from the water treatment place where they filter the river water through sand before adding chlorine, or if it's scale buildup on some pipes somewhere that's flaking off and into the supply. I guess it doesn't really matter.
I don't know anything about brands of filters and who makes good ones, but I've been looking around online for whole house inline sediment filters. I'd much rather spend 5 minutes and $50 replacing a filter in my basement once a year than redo fixtures every five years at a day and $200 each.
