My wife is pushing for one of these very expensive home water treatment/filtration systems, but it all feels like a scam to me. No one I know has one, so turning to random strangers on the internet for opinions.

Edit: We’re on city water in a decent area. No well water. It’s more about removing the chlorine and microplastics than anything.

    Huh. That’s good to know. I always changed the filters when I was supposed to, so I never experienced that. Thanks!

      No, you just experienced Brita filters doing almost nothing to the water. They only absorb a few tasting chemicals and do fuck all for actually filtering the water.

      Project Farm on YouTube has two videos about filters, and Brita et. al. that are about making “tasty” water fail miserably every time.
