Best whole home water filter system (town water issues)

[boxingfan30]

My wife and I are planning to build an edition on our house. While we are getting the money to do so, I have decided to add a full home water filter system. The levels here barely pass regulations and I guess that`s good enough for this town, but not me. I want safe drinking water, no rust or other spots around toliets, and also to be able to wash my car here, I gave to drive to my mothers just to wash my car because everything spots so bad.

I know things such as cr spotless are excellent for this, but the filters aren`t cheap, and if I`m going to have good water for car washing, I want to have it for my wife and son.

Has anyone done a whole house system, or and recommendations?

No links, but I have (redundant systems for house and garage):

- Two sediment filters; probably overkill but I run a 30-50 micron in the first one to get the "big stuff" and a 10 micron in the second one
- "Berme" filter (I think that`s what it`s called), looks/acts like a softener but doesn`t use salt. My water guy sold it to me and I didn`t argue but it might be unnecessary
- Softener
- Reverse Osmosis system for drinking water

Both the house and shop have the above set-up, plus I have the CR Spotless in the shop. The CRS resin isn`t cheap, but it`s not prohibitive (well, not to me..) when purchased in big quantities when on sale. It`s great for doing a Pressure Washer Rinse, which actually gets a not-too-dirty vehicle quite clean in a quick/easy way; just pressure wash it and walk away, letting it air-dry.

As I said, I kinda overkill this, but I`m the last house on my street`s water system and seeing the [stuff] the sediment filters catch I`m glad I do it this way.

Ok thanks, I`ll take a look at that one as well

Picking up a CR spotless system for a final pressure washer rinse would be awesome. Fingers crossed an open box deal pops up on a certain eBay site I know.
