[quote=Anonymous]We have a whole house cartridge filter, and a charcoal filter on our main water line. I have to change the cartridge every six months, and the charcoal filter once a year (I think, have not changed it yet). We also have reverse osmosis on our sink. It's a separate filter. We had our water tested, and were not happy with the levels of chlorine and other contaminants. RO is the only thing that removes pharmaceuticals. It is NOT recommended for filtering in general, as it wastes a lot of water. We use it only on one faucet in the kitchen only for drinking water. We drink a lot of water, so it's very useful. We paid about $500 for ours, bought online from Amazon. It cost about $300 to install it, however, and it broke a couple of times, so I've had to pay the plumber even more money to fix it. The inline filters are not expensive, and installation was a couple hundred dollars, I think. We have VERY rusty water coming in from the street, so this filter is absolutely necessary for us. Our laundry was getting yellow from all the rust in the water. Now it's still rusty at times if we have not run the water for a while, but mostly the water is clear. [/quote]
