Like most things there are people HAPPY to sell you something. You will also find people who have bought whatever system will think the decision they made is wise.
First question is WHY. We do not have a water treatment system. For drinking and cooking water we use the filtered water from our refrigerator. We do find some filters, brands of filters, are better than others so are brand loyal. We have hard water. It contains limestone.
For clothes washing adding Borax solves that issue.
Filtration is the same as what we are doing except you are filtering all the water. I assume as we have discovered quality of filters is not all the same. Our water is pretty good. It is not like a private well. Unlike our previous home, we have great water pressure.
