carbon filter. but you will need a lower micron rated pre filter in front of it. eg if you get a 5mic carbon, use a 1 mic filter.

i have it setup to do the whole house and the i get more mud in the filter than when we where on tank supply. 

thanks for the reply.

It’s good to get chlorine out with an activated carbon filter as it affects taste and has done its job by the time it reaches your tap. 

There’s no particular reason to worry about fluoride. It occurs naturally in ground water at levels comparable to fluoridated water. It’s tasteless at water supply concentrations. 

Water distiller gets rid of a lot of things in conjunction with a carbon filter

We use one of these under our kitchen sink which removes all of the chlorine taste. One cartridge lasts around a year, and has very little impact on pressure.

again thanks for the replies awesome...

how cheaply/fast are you thinking? i have a whole house carbon filter set up now, previously a similar one tap plumbed solution and when travelling a britta jug that filters the water before boiling and cooling for use (not as good as the other two, but still makes a difference).

as a point of interest there are places in western australia where they have to take the naturally occuring fluoride out of the water for it to meet drinking standards (scroll down to the south west and dunsborough)

I have a cheap filter that has 2 canisters in it, a particle one and a carbon one. It does the job of making water nicer for making coffee with. No idea about what it filters out or leaves in. Was not that expensive from bunnings and I just put a T on where the fridge took its water from the feed into this filter and then a tap on the countertop over the sink. I also split the output and ran another over to where I have the coffee makers and put a second tap in there for filling the coffeemaker or hot water dispenser from so I was not carrying water across a kitchen like someone carting water from a river in the third world.

It was with trepidation that I clicked on that link, thinking it was going to be a conspiracy theorist promotion of individual sovereignty, how the medical profession is a cabal trying to kill everyone and their freedumbs. Amazingly it's a useful resource! Thank you!

Haha! Same!

The flow rate from the chilled/filtered water dispenser on our F&P RF610 fridge is very slow. About 900ml/min. Thinking about setting up two filters in parallel but not sure if the filter is the problem or if the fridge itself has a flow limiter. After all if the water passes through too quickly it won’t chill.

Ouch, that would be unusable IME. My fridge dispenser is also too slow so I just fill all my sodastream bottles and leave them in the useless vege drawers to either use in the sodastream or pour into a metal drink bottle if I want.

Chlorine has recently been added to drinking water in Blenheim.  I understand it's a regulatory requirement now, but unsure of the detail.  It tastes bloody awful, so I've put a carbon filter on the taps in the kitchen and bathroom vanities.  The fridge already had one on its water inlet.  They seem to have taken the swimming pool taste away.
