I started with the Vinbrite, now moving on to the whole house filter on the next batch. I have tested with water and works great. Order the setup from VV and we have a source for replacement filters for much cheaper.

That Valley Vinter has some good prices after looking at their site. Might have to add an inline filter for the vacuum pump from Wade.

Got it, Thanks Grapeman, also, can you guys tell who type of filter you are using. $12.00 seems like a lot of money for only one time of filtering? Some are in the $80.00 range also, Thanks John

Once you buy one of them, look at the brand and number of the filter. You can get them a lot cheaper other places once you have the number- like $3-4. You can also rinse the filters out and store in the filter housing with some k-meta in it and use again if fairly soon. It makes them inexpensive.

Very nice!

Whole house set up or something different?

I went with the Valley Vintner one mainly because I looked around and it would pretty much cost me the same after buying the adapters to get down tpo 3/8" for racking hose as most come ready for 1" pipe.

My whole house filter uses 3/4" ports so I can get a screw on adapter to go to 1/2" or 3/8" barb for about $1.80 at home depot. I might try the LHBS that has lots of keg parts.

I was looking at filters and will go with 1 micron but does it make any difference between 2.25" or 2.5" filters? The larger ones are a little more money but does it matter?

I am going to order a case. At $2 that's a deal plus I need some 20" ones for my house filter.
