I am on a well and my main reason for getting putting together this filter was due to all the sediment in the water from this summers rains. I will keep a GAC in mind.
Now that I think of it I remember you were on well water right? So if not removing chlorine nor chloramines it may be more than enough. In any case it will not hurt to have two stages of carbon.

I found a 3/4 inc. dual system without pressure relief button. Do you think I need the PRB or not? I was going to order it but thought to ask you first. TIA.
It depends on the purpose of the PRB. I honestly have not really considered it. I would think it would be useful to have if you did have internal pressure and needed to dismantle the system. Could be wrong here but seems internal pressure could prevent you from being able to dismantle the system.

I need something on my well, what made you choose this instead of RO water for all?
I do not know that model you are using but in mine when I replace the filters (every three months) if I do not exaust the air, in some cases, the water will not even flow at all but for sure the flow rate is greatly reduced. The air contained inside cause a back presure.

Normally my well water is fine. With all the rains this summer there is a lot of sediment in the water and it annoys the fish something awful, especially fry and juvies. This filter is a much better solution then a full up RO solution in terms of water waste plus needing the ability to generating enough RO water (plus remin it) for all my needs.
