    I had been working awhile back on installing one of those "whole house"
    water filters between my FW tanks and the pump. I just couldn't get rid of
    that "fiberglass" taste, even after multiple scrubbings, cleanings, and
    bleachings. I installed the filter, a Culligan model (same as Sears and a
    lot of others). However the only cartridge that would work was a sediment
    filter. The "undersink" carbon cartridges proved too restrictive for the
    pump and the flow I needed.

    I finally found one that works. It's a Pentek NCP-10. It's a
    carbon-impregnated polyester filter cartridge, rated to 10 microns, and does
    an excellent job at making the water much nicer out of the tanks. You can
    find them at: http://www.watercenterfilters.com/index.tpl along with a lot
    of other filter and filtration equipment. They're about $10 each. No idea on
    lifespan yet... will try to report back later how long they will last.
