Hi, know I’m late to this, but good place to start is https://www.nsf.org/knowledge-library/standards-water-treatment-systems to determine what level of treatment you would like to achieve. And then make sure you select a system that meets the NSF/ANSI standard you are looking to achieve. https://www.nsf.org/knowledge-library/home-water-treatment-system-selection No offense meant, but I’d be wary of the guru’s out there that are making a commission.
