With the exception of the carbon filter, the other filters you are using are sediment filters that remove particulate form the water. These filters eventually clogg with particulate and have to be changed. Generally, the lower the micron rating the more often you will have to change them. Carbon filters usually are used to improve the taste of the water when hydrogen sulfide(rotten eggg smell) is present.
It sounds like you have a lot of sedimentin your water and the filters should take care of that.

The other things you complain about could be due to disolved substances in your water that a filter won't take out. If you have city water, it has to meet government standards for wholesomeness and your water district should have records of the water quality that they have to submit to the appropriate state and federal authorities to certify that it's safe to drink. Go to the water district and request a copy of their water analysis data and file a complaint about your water quality. Any water district worth its salt will come out and take a sample for analysis. There might be a break in the main that's allowing contamination in. If so they need to fix it. It is not uncommon for septic tanks to contaminate ground water and have that leak into a broken pipe presnting a severe health risk. If they won't do anything, then find a lab that does water testing(call your County Extension Office for help) and get a sample analyzed. It'll be cheaper than an illness! You can use the results to get the water district to take action if there is a health problem. Drink bottled water until you get this resolved.

Good Luck!
