Be very careful about this. Many companies who do water testing also sell the water filtration equipment and in their opinion your water is always bad and need some kind of system.
From what I understand, the water here in the Villages is perfectly drinkable. Now some people may be more fussy about their water and can tell the difference. I on the other hand would not put in any kind of filtration system unless I thought I was being poisoned. The water tastes fine to me and no one is getting sick from it as far as I know. In my opinion filtration systems are a total rip off, but there will be some that disagree with me.
If you really think you can tell the difference, another alternative is to get a five gallon water dispenser and buy drinking water. The neat thing about them is you get ice cold and almost boiling hot water at the push of a button.
