Re: Plumbing advice wanted - whole house water filter

I'd also consider the shutoff valves and a bypass valve. If the filter bowl cracks on a weekend, you can just bypass it instead of replumbing the entire thing while you find a replacement bowl.

+1 You definitely want to do this! Another advantage of doing this is that you can check whether the filter is becoming plugged or not by bypassing it for a test.
