I installed a whole house filter that I purchased from Home depot for $36.00 and connected where the supply line comes in at the garage. I was amazed at the how brown the filter turned in a short period of time, I change the filter every three months. I later installed a water softener combo chlorine removal from the Sears on 441, it was on sale for about $500 compared to Lowe's at $850. Water is very soft and no more chlorine smell from the facets. Sears will in stall for you. Total investment supplies and all $625.00. Just a thought.

A $36 filter from HD is a toy, it is not in the same class as these triple filters.
You would really be amazed if you saw what a commercial filter such as the Nova filter with 3 4"x20" filter can remove from the water.
It's not the water softener doing all that you think, it's the carbon.
