thanks I already got a five stage reverse osmosis but the water is so bad it ruins it very fast and i'm poor so can't afford another one right now. Also, the water has chloramine instead of chlorine. I got a big filter for that but if your not carefull watching it...it will go bad and start releasing amonia that is seprated from chlorine in the carbon filter in low amounts that are harmful but you can't taste.

Everything you said is true. Have you tried collecting rain water? You'll start with a purer source and it will take less effort from your system to purify it.

Yeah I could do that. Saddly, Even if you don't use the tap water the city still makes you pay for it. If you don't have city water power and try to "live off grid" they will condemn your home.

I understand. It's the same around here in Southern Ohio. If you want, you can still be connected but use nothing. You can always use the city power to balance your system if you produce too much demand. Is the water tax high?
