Water softeners and filters target two different issues. You now have a filter to remove sediment/chlorine. Chlorine gives water it's gnarly taste. A water softener removes hardness, which you can't taste but contributes to scale build-up, glass etching, using more soap, dry skin, etc. Many people have both since they address two different issues. Many people have neither. Many people have just one. Many people buy a "hybrid system" that contains both a water softener and a filter to remove sediment/chlorine.
