Default Well Pump needing help w/ flow

I installed the ¾ housing and filter and noticed an extreme drop in water pressure to the house.
I had to remove the housing and filter. I’m not sure my well pump can handle the extra filter in the flow.
Please help.

Default Re: Well Pump needing help w/ flow

The extreme drop in pressure is due to your cartridge selection. The
CBC-20 is a 0.5 micron carbon block with an extremely high pressure
drop and terrible flow restriction. You need to use this cartridge:
RFC-20 water filter cartridge and Pentek RFC20 carbon drinking water filters 155065
It is designed for whole house use and will not cause the same
problem.

Thank you,
