Does anyone have a whole home, or under the sink water filter they'd recommend?
I live in an area with very hard tap water (500 ppm TDS); even without a water softener the output becomes ~80 ppm TDS, and the water hardness test strips check out at ~40 ppm. I then installed a water softener with its own sediment pre-filter, and now the overall RO output looks (TDS-wise) even more pure than your typical plastic-bottled water.
