I know that the filters and membranes can be expensive, but using these for drinking water and ice only means far fewer gallons running through the system than a whole-house filter. Water hardness is another issue, of course.

having lived here for a few decades... I can say this, you really don't need either BUT depending on location in this state, having neither will cost you in shower heads, faucets, etc as these things will eventually clog up with crap. In some areas that's every 2 years, some not. For here I can't really say because this house came with a filter and softener. Which I suspect the filter needs replacing as we all are itching like crazy for the last couple months.
