Water hardness is another issue, of course.

I have lived in a lot of different places and I have never had a water softener or filter. In my opinion, the water in The Villages is slightly hard, but better than most places I have lived. (Note: If you want to experience hard water, go to Saudi Arabia). I don't see the need for a filter or softener, but it is a personal choice. These systems are heavily marketed in The Villages, but I don't need one.
