Well, since my daughter is a science major at Kansas State, this must be right! Seriously though, do I gather the straight drinking water at the Villages tastes bad? Here in the middle of Kansas, over one of the largest salt deposits in the world, all of the water is salty, soft or not. We have both softener and RO system, does that mean we're fairly safe do you think, and are we going to need this if we more down with you guys?

Use care in selecting a water system. All sorts of "deals" out there, that mean nothing.
The best are the ones that keep changing their price to get you to buy.....they have an
extra unit in the shop....they have a unit that was used at a home show....etc.
We've used Culligan when we lived in Iowa, and had no problems. We'll probably go with
Culligan in The Villages.

I will DEFINITELY install at least a filter! I see a weekly dirt ring in the commodes.

My neighbor has ecowater and loves it, though it was pricey ($3K for his)

Garret in general what are the water qualities the TV, see on your site you do testing so I assume you know how good or bad it is.

Also what is the necessity of a water softener, and what are the annual costs.

I'm familiar with whole house filters & RO units but not these.

Just purchased a Culligan system and would Not recommend them here in TV. It's a good product;I've had one at home for years. However, the customer service here is absolutely awful! Your "best friend" will sell you the unit, someone incompetent will install the unit and mess up your landscaping and irrigation, then it will take an act of congress to get the job completed. Say NO to Culligan in TV, not because of the product, but because of the terrible customer service.
