water filter recommendation?

[cam00]

It depends. If it's only chemical and bacterial contaminants and anything else but virus and heavy metal contamination, then I would go with a very easy and quick installation of a MULTI-PURE STAINLESS STEEL product and filter. It's the largest activated carbon block filter on the market for domestic use, and does NOT waste a lot of water as does the R/O systems. It may be shipped here directly, although I'm not certain of it.

BUT, if you feel that GTO water has been contaminated by heavy metals, than you would need to go the R/O route, as the RO membrane is capable of removing the very small heavy metal contaminants, along with everything else an activated carbon filter system can do, PLUS VIRUSES.......but also strips the water of ALL minerals. Many people do NOT like the taste of water without the minerals.

An RO system requires MUCH more maintenance than a single activated CARBON filter,such as the MULTI PURE, and wastes a hell of a lot of water to make its "purified water".
