Whole House Filter?

I am currently on well water and would like to add a whole house filter. The one I'm looking at is the Whirlpool WHCF-DWHBB because it seems to use the standard Big Blue filters.

Can anyone confirm I'm correct on this? Also, is there a lower cost filter housing that's clear? The Whirlpool unit sells for just under $60 at Lowes.

Also would it be a good idea to get 2 of these units to work in parallel and should I install them before or after the pressure tank? I'm thinking before the tank to capture sediment from getting into the tank, but I'm hearing it's better to install after the tank because of pressure from the well pump to the tank.

BTW, my pump is in the well, so it's pushing water up. It's also around 200ft down.

Thanks!!
