Be careful with the flow rate on these. If you buy one of the under-sink
filters for drinking water and try to run your entire boat's water supply
through it, it won't flow enough. The sediment only filters will work fine,
but the taste/odor/sediment cartridges will restrict the flow too much. I
went through all this last year; see my earlier post on a filter that I
found that does work, but in my case, not with a great lifespan. I think the
filters would work better on the downstream side of your pump, but mine is
on the suction side at the tank.
