    You know my city wasn't too bad but...
    This doesn't tell the whole story. I have a whole house filter that is before the house. It sits outside in a box and is piped from where water utility comes up from the ground to the corrugated sediment/containment filter then to the house. I change that filter every 6 months. It goes in white and comes out dark brown and you can scrape the mud off the filter element with your finger. GROSS!

    We've been using the pitcher type filters for years. I have no idea how effective they are in removing contaminants, but it definitely improves the taste of tap water.

    We have 2 RO units in the house. 1 under the sink for coffee and tea, and 1 behind the refrigerator for the ice maker and water dispensor.

    Boss, I'd highly recommend a 'PPM meter'. They can be had for $15. We also use one of those pitcher filters. I tested it.

    The Part Per Million of the tap water here is reduced by 5 points. It commonly measures around 200ppm. Once the chlorine gasses off. It'll drop a couple points. Passed through the pitcher it's around 195ppm.

    That pitcher filter isn't worth a Damn except for better taste. It's not filtering out anything.
