Another possibility might be to:
- Continue to use the softener for the bathrooms, laundry & dishwasher
- Run an unsoftened cold water line to the kitchen sink that is filtered under the sink or at POE especially for iron (0.32) and for whatever else is typically recommended (i.e. sediment, etc)
- And continue to buy bottled water just for tea
This option would provide very low-sodium (14 mg/l) mineral water for drinking & cooking and would significantly reduce the quantity of bottled water needed each week. Please advise. If we go this route, which filters would be most appropriate? Thanks!
