What is going on
Softeners remove hardness, but they do not remove chlorine, sediment, or many other contaminants. Filters fill that gap. Whole-house carbon filters improve taste and odor for every tap and shower. Under-sink filters and reverse osmosis target drinking and cooking water. Well water may need sediment filters or treatment for iron and sulfur. The right system depends on what is in your water and what you want out.

Before we get there
Tell us whether you are on city water or a well, and what bugs you about the water: taste, smell, spots or something else. If you have a water test report, share it. Clear space under the kitchen sink.
