Right, I just didn't recognize the abreviation.

I looked at two reverse osmosis systems and I was over the maximum iron content for one and over the maximum hardness for the other.  I'll look at iSpring.

Reverse Osmosis.

It's a way to filter water out to pretty much tasteless.  The iSpring system I mentioned is a reverse osmosis system.  It passes the water through several filters and then a reverse osmosis membrane which can filter out impurities larger than 0.001 micron.  The remaining stages are related to treating the water such that any impurities that the membrane can't filter out are either removed or rendered tasteless.

I considered putting a whole house one in, but figured I only cared about what I was drinking/eating.  I'm ok with showering in the water which tastes slightly bad but doesn't smell bad.   If the water had an odor, I'd be figuring out how to cancel that out at the head end...

    What's RO?

    If it is RO I would think you would not need a softener after it.

    We put a whole house filter system by Morton in our cabin
    recently.   Seems pretty decent.   Nicest feature is there are no
    filters to change.   It flushes the filters like a water software
    flushes when recharging.   Only downside is you have to have it
    by a drain, just like a water softener.   For city water it
    installs before the water softener, but for well water, it
    installs after the water softener.

    Seems to work pretty well.

    Is that an under the sink system or a whole house system?

            Moving to a house with well water.  It's actually my
            parents old house
            where I grew up so I'm very familiar with the water
            there. Currently
            spoiled by nice, clean municipal water. That house has
            very high iron
            and manganese levels.  Definitely also have hydrogen
            sulfide because you
            can smell and taste it.

            There's already a salt water softener and that helps
            quite a bit, but
            I'm looking at other some of these filter systems to put
            inline as
            well.  Wondering if this crowd has opinions or preferred
            brands for that
            stuff.  All 2c opinions are welcome.

            I'm also not sure about UV sterilization vs a chlorine
            injector system.
            Seems like the UV is less maintenance because all you do
            is change the
            bulb once a year, but IDK it's my first time looking at
            this stuff.  Any
            opinions on that?
