Thanks all.

I went to some of the links posted and ended up with the NSU-2015-Water-Quality-Report. It shows a lot that I do not understand. I also do not know the difference in soft or hard water so I goggled it.

Just to mention the hardness of the water (as to taste, I don't even give my dog the tap water; if I don't like it I can't expect her to like it).

So, what I get out of everything I have looked it is this...


North Sumter Utilities report says the water hardness is 173 mg/L
Hard water listed as high is from 121-180 mg/L
Hard water is both pro and negative.

I don't know if this has an effect on the taste. I drink purified water and it tastes clean and leaves no aftertaste. Its the aftertaste that gets me.

I see Nova is written about a lot and all positive, I would just like to taste water cleaned from a Nova system before I spend the money. If it doesn't remove the lingering taste, then I would have to look into something else. If it works and makes the water taste clean, then it may be the solution.

google these...
