Find a Home Depot guy who knows these systems. I think that will give you all the info you need.

I thought New York was supposed to have some the best tap water around? Moreover, as city officials, water connoisseurs and native boosters have long declared, New York tap water is among the world’s purest and tastiest. It is praised in foreign-language guidebooks, and some city bakers credit its mineral content and taste for their culinary success. “It’s delicious,” said Emily Lloyd, commissioner of the city’s Department of Environmental Protection. nytimes.com

Even if you have some of the best raw material it does not take much to spoil it. If you are treating bad taste you might start with a Britta filtration system. You can get the pitcher or a tap model. The point is you find out if your water is easily treatable. My water has one defect that affects taste. My neighbor whose well is less than 200 feet from my own has a chlorine treatment system to make his usable. If the charcoal filter quickly fouls then you may have a more serious problem than a RO system will address. The hardware store guy (lumber yard) only knows about systems they sell. You may need to consult a professional. These people make one of the best rejuvenating systems for treating a variety of common well water fouling: Hague Water My problem is solved with a quality softner and did not require a Hague System. Usually, the output of Reverse Osmosis unit does not have high enough pressure. Mixing responses here. The pressure is based on your water supply. RO loses ability to handle the volume of demand as it clogs. The better the input the slower the decay rate. I have to change my RO cartridge every five years, but I filter to 2 microns before it hits the system.

I carbonate my water. That does wonders for the taste.
