We have a lot of iron in the water here and it doesn't taste real great so we have used a Pur pitcher (similar to Brita), a Pur filter on the faucet, and a Culligan filter on the faucet. All of them worked well. The only problem was that because there was so much mineral in our water the filters didn't last very long. The faucet filters had a bypass on them so you didn't have to use filtered water for washing dishes, etc. I liked the faucet filters better than the pitcher. Currently we are buying water for drinking. Our grocery store has a reverse osmosis system and we can refill our jugs for 33 cents a gallon. It's easier and not much more expensive than buying the filters for the other systems.

I have a totally OT question and before I go and invest money (that I don't really have) into something that may or may not work I thought I ask around in the largest group of knowledgeable people that I know. :)
Do the filters that are supposed to make your tap water taste better really work? Our water tastes awful and I would really like to get away from bottled water since we should tighten our household budget a bit and also because it is bad for the environment.
I would appreciate any input, also which brand is the best and does it pay off in the long run.
Many thanks,
Maria
