Default Water softener *and* filter?

RO is the best technology for producing pure water but they waste
water and can be expensive to buy and maintain. You might consider
installing a whole house filter like I did. The filter itself comes
in different pore sizes including filters of only a few microns, so
you can experiment some. Hard to say if it will improve the taste of
your water. It is a lot cheaper, easy to install, and will serve
the entire house. They also waste no water, unlike RO.


Are you saying that the RO and whole-house filters perform the same
function, albeit at different price points and efficiencies? Both
remove impurities but the RO makes really pure water at one faucet
whereas the whole-house filter makes somewhat-pure water for the whole
house?
