Default Not needed, but a filter helps

I am a snowbird. The water in the Villages is much softer than in my northern local where I absolutely need a softener. But the water here is not overly clean. I would strongly recommend going with a whole-house water filtration system. There are a couple of systems sold by plumbers in the area that go for $400-600 installed. Your water will taste better and your clothes will be cleaner. Plus, these systems take up a fraction of the space needed for a softener.
