Go to one of the big box stores such as Lowes or Home Depot and buy a "hybrid water softener". This is a water softener with an included carbon filter. The water softener part of this appliance will remove the calcium and magnesium that gives the water it's hardness and the carbon filter will remove the chlorine that gives the water it's bad taste. Hire a local plumber such as Mike Scott to install it. You should be able to do the whole thing for perhaps $1000.
