I kept having problems with my toilet not refilling all the way in the
bowl.

There is a little tube which sends water into the overflow tube when
refilling. This opening in the refill valve for this was getting clogged
by particles in the water pipes. (The same particles which clog up faucet
aerators.)

So I decided to put a water filter on my toilet. But the replacement
cartridges are too expensive! Instead I looked for a "screen" type filter
which I could clean and not need to buy replacement cartridges.

All I could find is a screen filter for an outside water hose (in the
garden section of home improvement stores). The filter I found looks like

Anyone know where you can get a "whole house screen filter"????


Buy a whole house sediment filter and make your own by wrapping the screen
around the supplied cartridge ends. There are a few ways of doing it.

You can also get a sediment trap (Y strainer) at a plumbing supply house and
they have screens in them.
