Always a good idea if it's an option, though you have to evaluate the correctness of the answer yourself in any case (folks may remember things incorrectly...). In most sales transactions around here, a water test would have been done, but if not, start with having the unfiltered input water tested. Gives you an idea of what might or might not be important, filter-wise. | |
