So, I do not feel the need to add a relatively cheap filtration system to try to improve on what I believe is already an excellent potable water product. If you don't like the taste, drink bottled water, but the tap water is safe. That is just my opinion.

Yes, I agree and as I wrote in my post, according to the folks who test the local water supply that comes into your home to the tap, the toilet and the shower (all the same water) it is 100% completely safe. However all that gunk that comes out of it and sticks to filters is still there (safe or otherwise) and you drink it, wash in it and flush with it. However SAFE only means it meets or exceeds specific government minimum standards and won't make you sick or cause disease or doesn't have more than xx% of whatever that CAN make you sick but doesn't mean it is NOT loaded with gunk as can be seen quite obviously on removed filters. That's all I'm sayin' For me, seeing all that "sediment" which is a fancy word for "dirt, sludge or, LOL, minerals" that I am drinking and bathing in is pretty gross and the less I ingest or wash in the happier I am. . It's not ONLY drinking water so bottled water doesn't completely solve it.
