I installed a tankless heater here in Florida. I decided to install a small in line sediment filter, something economically priced, with reasonably priced and easily obtained replacement filters. My line is 3/4" PVC. My house is 2 bath, washer, dishwasher, the usual. What flow rate should I use, and can someone recommend one?
 
It depends on how fine of sediment you are bringing into the system. I usually find 10 micron is a good starting point. If you are still getting small sediments through that, move to a 5 micron and go smaller from there. The finer your filter, expect a restriction in pressure though.
