    One of my best investments has been a multi-stage RO system.

      Do you know of a good brand for RO filtration? With the way our infrastructure is crumbling I would enjoy the extra peace of mind if clean water.

        I know you’re probably asking about whole home solutions, but for pitchers, Zero Water is a good brand specifically for PFAS.

          We just replaced ours with an RO system because we got tired of changing the filters every 2-3 weeks on ours, and that it smelled like fish tank when the filter was bad.

        https://www.uswatersystems.com/ is who I went with.

        If you’re willing to spend $$$ and want professional installation, https://www.kinetico.com/ might be worth a look as well.
