Any good ones that won't break the bank? We've been using those Brita filters because the cost and trash from bottled water. Just want to get rid of the chorine without filtering away the good stuff. Cool with me if it's isolated to an under sink unit. (Wish I could afford to sink a well).
 
The dept put reverse osmosis filters in our east mountain stations. Didn't notice much of a difference myself, but then I drink the well water at home.
 
I've used several but the biggest thing I found is to use the single filter RO and make sure there's plenty of replacement filters available where you bought it. The triple filter units get really pricey when replacement time comes.
 
Don't think I need to go as far as RO:hhmm:. I was thinking more on the lines of an under sink unit like this:

Aqua-Pure Water Filters : CUNO, Incorporated

One of the AP Easy units, replacement filters for the CS-FF are only $28~ and are good for 2,000 gallons..

Excellent Advice. I too am "in the market" for an RO system for cooking and drinking water only. Along with my concern regarding cost of filters, I'm also trying to find something that isn't terribly inefficient with its wastewater; I've read some specs that for every 1 gallon of filtered water the unit will waste 4 gallons!!! Anyways, can you give some guidance on who offers the best unit based on this type of efficiency. Thanks. :cheers:
 
I think the term RO and water filters have gotten kinda interchangable even though they're different. I was speaking of the water filters, like those posted above.

If your only looking to get rid of clorine taste then a activated charcoal filter will remove clorine. The Cuno filters are good ,will fit under a sink and have charcoal cartridges.
