OT: Water filtration system

Is there a reason why you are considering a “whole house” system? Do you get thirsty in the bath?

I was also hopping to stop sediment from ending up inside the faucets everywhere in my home.

I’ve read some reverse osmosis systems waste water (eg: use 4 gallons to make 1 gallon of drinking water)…

More expensive models may not have this waste.

We use a fridge filter. Works much better than those filter jugs and filter lasts a year and replacements are cheap (< $50).

Had RO and liked the taste of the water, but it was wasteful.

It also developed a costly problem after a couple years – a valve broke and was sending clean water down the drain 24/7 for several months.

It also took up alot of room under the sink.

Switched it out to an under-sink, in-line filter (better than a fridge filter) that is fine. The RO water did taste better, but the in-line is just fine.

I use a whole house filter (from Home Depot ,<$50) for trapping those nasty sediments and a RO system under the kitchen sink that also feeds water to the fridge for ice cubes (fridge also has a built in filter, but feeding it the RO water makes it last longer and nothing in drinks when the ice melts) love this setup. The newest RO systems do not waste near the amount of water that the older ones do. When I was in Iowa this summer I was amazed how good their tap water is, it's not hard like ours.
