you think TV water is drinkable
 

I dislike it so much. Leaves an aftertaste that lingers. What do you all think?

We installed a Sears whole house filter and a Sears water softener, the resulting water is great, to the point that we do not buy bottled water.

We went with Nova. We are very pleased.

A slice of lemon handles it for me.

Whirlpool Central house filtration system did it for us, doesn't need salt or additives, just need a plumber with experience to hook it up....inexpensive ....Lowe's off the shelf......

Mike Scot plumbing put a filter in for us and it works great

Water filtered water at the sink and the refrigerator has tasted good for eight years. Water from unfiltered faucets tastes really bad. IMHO.

We've been here 16 1/2 years. We always drink the tap water.

Another vote for Nova.:thumbup:

To anyone that has had decent public water, or have taste buds that work...it's pretty bad.

Bottled water and a filter on the fridge (mostly for coffee) is the only water I'll drink...if I have a choice. :shrug:

I cannot understand why you would want to filter all the water in your house, when you can get filtered drinking water from your refrigerator or bottled water. Also, I don't see the need for a water softener. The Villages water is as good as any water I have ever had, and it is not hard water. Just my opinion, but I have never used a water softener or filter anywhere I have lived. Are you sure that the water filters you use are not a source for contamination? If you want to experience hard water, go to Saudi Arabia. I lived there for a year and survived just fine.

I think you will find your answer in this thread: https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...ght=nova+water

When we moved into our new home in Osceola Hills, we did not like the chemical taste of the water. We had the NOVA filter system installed and can now drink water from any faucet without any of the chemical taste that was present prior to the NOVA system. The water has no taste. The hardness is acceptable.

Seems fine to me. Do you have the same aftertaste issue when you make coffee or tea?

I have no idea if an expensive filtering system is really necessary but generally shy away from such claims. it would appear that providing clean drinkable water is a responsibility not taken lightly by the people regulated to protect our water sources and operations. However,

A poster cited another thread that spoke to the NOVA system. The OP displayed a photo showing the comparison between a new filter to the one being replace. The former filter is white and latter filter is brown. But what does that brown tinge represent and is it harmful? Medical people claim a drawback on drinking just bottle water is the benefit of minerals contained in water.

Like the vast majority of people living here we have a refrigerator with a water filter. We use it primarily for drinking . The cost to replace these filters has been drastically reduced especially if you buy on line. Any other uses are cooking with water and hygiene regimes
