I have a sediment filter that I want to install on my drilled well supply line on the well side of my pressure tank. The supply line from the well looks like 1.5" o.d. black pvc (1.25" i.d. maybe?). The filter I have is .75" ea side. Will I have any issues if I reduce the intake pipe size down to .75" from 1.25" before it enters the pressure tank? other than slower fill time?

Thanks.

Probably not. The problem will be that the pressure cut off switch will
probably be on the wrong side of the filter. You will want the cut off
before the filter, so if the filter clogs the switch turns off the well
pump.
