Steve,
I will be having to make a decision on a whole house filter also. But at this point don't know much more than you about it, because I haven't had the time to research it.
First, you should know what you have in your water that should be filtered out or corrected - like hard water. You can get your water tested by a lab that tests well water. I had the water from my recently drilled well water tested. It costs around $75 for bacteria & nitrates. I paid $220 for a test that tested for levels of metals (17), inorganic chemicals, pH, organic chemicals, hardness, and VOCs. I was surprised to find out low levels of things like Ethylbenzene, Toluene, Dichloroethylene, etc. were common. Kind of scarry.
After you find out what's there, you can start researching what equipment you need to eliminate it. I know I am going to start with a big charcoal filter right from the pump.
