We have two "big blue" filter housings that take 20"x4.5" cartridge filters. The first filter is a cleanable pleated sediment filter and the second filter is a "carbon block" filter to remove chlorine. From there, the filtered water goes to a water softener to remove calcium and magnesium ions (hardness). If you want a water softener, having a chlorine filter is a good idea as it should extend the life of the resin tank (where the calcium and magnesium ions are exchanged). We have soft water that tastes good. PM me if you would like to see the setup.
