Last summer they were repairing the mains on our street and connected us all
to a temporary main via rubber hoses during the repair work. The water
tasted terrible (like drinking out of a garden hose that sits in the sun
all day)

I didn't have time to do a lot of research, so I went to Home Depot and
grabbed the mid-priced GE dual-filter undercounter setup (under $100 IIRC).
Very happy with it, it took care of the taste/odor problem completely.

FWIW, I wouldn't necessarily have 100% faith in the municipal water supplies
anymore - seems to me there are more stories in the news lately about big
screwups in the distribution systems that cause temporary boil orders, etc.

I'm thinking about an undersink water filter and have a few questions:

1) are they worth it?
2) do they work?
3) any recommondations or advice on what to avoid?

thanks in advance
