Whole House 3 stage water filter

[barney48]

Having bought one of these from EMWC I find that when all 3 filters are in place the water will not go through the GAC filter. EMWC replaced this with a new onw but the problem is the same. Take it out and you get a decent flow - put it in and only a trickle comes out.
Anyone come across this problem or have any suggestions?
many thanks

What pressure do you have at the main?

^^^^^^ Beat me to it!

Will have to re check as I cant remember - health problems etc have rather pushed work to taking a back seat.
I do know the area is good and the mains are a new supply so wouldnt have thought it was too low.
If it does turn out to be that there isnt anything that can be done so they will have to get along with 2 filters instead of 3.

thanks

If your water pressure is good, then you just need to buy a new GAC filter from a descend company and that's it.
Cheers.

Checked water pressure and its very good at over 6 bar. All new filters and as soon as I add the GAC filter everything slows down to a trickle.
Cant get anywhere with the supplier East Midlands Water Co.
