That’s great! I think we need to pay close attention to our water supply and I appreciate that you are posting a positive take.
We have good water here, though it is the most expensive municipality in the country. The elevated price comes from our long-ignored sewer infrastructure and the layer-cake of band-aids that we are paying for. That said, we have steady rainfall and plentiful aquifers. Water here is almost taken for granted (except for that sewer bill, which is calculated on water consumption).
Even still, I have whole house paper filters to pull the iron out before it gets to any faucet, then a second stage of carbon filters for drinking water. Cheap to install and easy to maintain and it goes a long way to improving our water quality. I don’t know if you are using any other filters, but you can quickly turn an A- water experience to an A+.
No filters at the house, have never even considered house water filters until those door to door (I call em scammers) came around selling house filters. Our city proper doesn’t need em which is why I say scam.
The citys last report shows pretty low levels of bad stuff across the board and it’s very soft water. Showers elsewhere feel weird…lathering soap is ‘harder’ and I feel like I’m extra dry while showing in hard water? it’s weird to explain.
30 mg/L (ppm) of total hardness
Total Chlorine 1.88 mg/L 1.72

Sodium mg/L 12.0
Fluoride mg/L 0.68
Nitrate mg/L 0.18
Haloacetic Acids* mg/L 0.027
Trihalomethanes* mg/L 0.033
Anything not listed is zero, and all are below our provincial standards
