The pre-owned unit we purchased came with a water system but I was assured by the owner that it was not for taste only softening.

Refrige has filter -that I thought would save the day- but I happily use tap for drinking.

Any ideas?
We were discussing drinking water the other day. I asked hubby if he liked the water in Calumet Grove and he said that he thought it was fine. I agreed. Meaning tap water. We both also agreed that the tap water in Creekside Landing tasted o.k.

I usually drink Poland Springs (from Maine) bottled water when traveling.

We recalled how back circa 1973 the water was atrocious in Satellite Beach Florida where we lived for one year..........ditto for the stuff they sprinkled on the lawns.........sulphur water.

The Villages does not have that type.........and was a pleasant surprise.

We were discussing water after we got onto the topic of Arizona having dire water shortages..........and wondering if central Florida is as bad, or not.......but that's another story.
