We are located in North Bryan and are on OSR Water. For years, we've been using the Cullingan water system. However, the price keeps going up and we only get filtered water out of the one faucet. Plus all of the plumbing fixtures in the showers have build-up.

Someone mentioned a RPG Water Catalyst whole house system (https://www.ifixnastywater.com/) that runs about $5k and has little to no maintenance. I've also heard of other providers offering water softening and purification systems.

What does everyone recommend for BCS water to have good tasting drinking water and clean shower fixtures?

Thanks

Go look at the Apec water systems - when we remodeled we put this system in and have 4 faucets with RO.
There are some drawbacks with a complete RO system and you should do some research on that.

Apec has some whole house systems but it would be cost prohibitive to do a whole RO house- not the least of which is a waste of discard water.

But to have RO at the faucets gets rid of all the salt and some minerals -good for reducing blood pressure- great for pot plants. And IMHO much better tasting.

We have a 14 gal tank and rarely run out.

The RPG Catalyst claims are akin to voodoo. I would want to have the output water tested against supply water, at a certified lab.

Generally speaking, a 3-housing filter bank, coarse (25-50 micron cartridge), then a 5-10 micron filter, then an activated carbon final cartridge, will provide a reasonable final product.

A small RO system for drinking/tea/coffee water, if needed.Only way to remove sodium.

If the build up is the only reason for the whole home I'd keep the RO for drinking and put an electric descaler on the main coming into the house. It doesn't remove the particulate but it does cause it not to stick.

BCS Pure Water is great. We have a leased RO for kitchen & whole home filtration that does a good job at other contaminents except TDS.
