First, the water in the villages meets all state requirements (irrespective of what the water sales people say). Second you need to determine if you want soft water (the water here is a little on the hard side), and if the additional chorine annoys you (additional chlorine is added due to the lack of a significant cold season). There are much lower cost alternatives than the $3000 to $5000 systems that are being offered. I have a Sears water softener and a Sears whole house filter. Result, the water is so nice that I do not need Jet dry in the dishwasher and the crystal comes out looking like new. Sears has just brought out a hybrid system that has both function in one unit.
My total cost was $800 for the 2 units and $600 for the installation. I was new to TV at the time and did not realize I could do the install myself.
This is just my opinion and I hope it helps. In any case do your research BEFORE you do anything with the water system.
