I am on a different page from most here. The Villages water is hard (lots of dissolved minerals) and makes for a lousy shower or clothes washing. I use a whole house water softener (buy from a reputable outfit like Home Depot or Lowe's). In addition, I use an in-line filter for my refrig water. I CAN taste the difference; if you do not, avoid the extra expense,

Above all, follow skip's advice and do not let the water-softener salesman in your house. Your local big-box store or plumber can save you thousands and deliver a system that is at least as good.
