Although there are legitimate companies around, water treatment systems is one of the biggest (in terms of cost) scams around. TV water is a little hard and some may prefer to install filters but to install a whole water treatment system, as a cost of up to $6000 ($3500 is more a norm) is overkill.
Some of the companies use "scare" tactics to sell you a treatment system, some have "official" sounding names like "Florida Water Company", and some are just outright frauds. Best advice I can offer, especially if you think you might want "something", is to deal with a reputable company that has been around awhile, check them out with the BBB and with both Villages offices of Seniors Vs Crime (Sumter and Marion), and use all your due diliagnce before making the purchase. Also, try your water as it is delivered to your house and do nothing unless you want to do it for personal preference reasons because that is no "health" reason to do anything to it other than "peace of mind".
