If you are a homeowner, I highly recommend buying an Reverse Osmosis (RO) Filter instead. The water is more "purified" and tastes notably better than the water from our Brita filter.

I second this. Just make sure you get or add a “remineralization” filter to the end of the system before the faucet. RO filters are so good at filtering they produce nearly distilled water void of any ions or minerals. ( terrible for making coffee )… and not super great for you.

Even if the device you get comes with one… add another one to the end of the chain!

Interesting. Any recommendations?

I installed a “Home Master Artesian” system at my house which included reminerialization and PH balancing….. honestly quite affordable systems for the quality.

You can also source a cheaper RO setup and add remineralization to it. Just search remineralization filter and those will come up. “Waterdrop” makes a popular one.

I've read that if you take a multi-vitamin, you don't have to worry about the unmineralized water. As for coffee, I haven't noticed that mine is any worse.
