I moved into an old fishing cabin that was used seasonally. I assumed when hard winter hit they drained the water from the pipes.
So, spidey senses tell me this water filter needs changing. And it looks like there are no shutoff valves to unscrew the filter housing (I assume it is just like an oil filter?). There is a main shut off valve. But I was told that if I turn The main off and unscrew the filter housing I am going to empty out the whole house of water on the levels above.
Is it worth it to have a plumber come in and install two shutoff valves- one on either side of the water filter? If so, any idea of what this would cost? I am in up North Habersham County.
Where do I get this water filter?
