In this video we go over the full procedure for installing a whole house water filter - the iSpring WBB22B 2-stage filter (but this is probably applicable to all kinds of filters - procedure will be similar to PEX, CPVC, or even Sharkbite ,which are probably easier to work with). My particular scenario has copper piping. The manufacturer recommends you use type "L" copper, which is thicker. But for residential installs, the thinner type "M" will probably be just fine. A system like this is beneficial in that it removes all kinds of dirt, particulates, chlorine, as well as other chemicals - nice, since otherwise you're drinking and bathing in this concoction of stuff. As someone pointed out in the pinned comment - I incorrectly stated how to measure the filter's pressure drop using the two gauges. You actually need to open a good amount of faucets first while letting the water flow through the filters. Then you'll be able to see the real pressure drop on the post filter gauge. Because in a closed state, the system just equalizes the pressure to city pressure, so doing a reading like that is moot.
