~30 micron is considered to be a very coarse filter, if your city water supply plugs this filter you are fighting a lost cause, I have two water supplies & two tanks & pumps, I have a filter only on the well water which is used for watering the garden, the water is not clean, have to clean the filter every two weeks or so, we use a lot of water on the garden. Any solids in the water will add to wear and tear on the pump.
The house water (from the city) we have a stainless tank, the city water is good, clean it out once a year, there is very little sediment and no bacteria, I have sized it so the water doesn't sit for long not giving time for bacteria to grow.
