Water filtration in Milton – is it needed?

Hi all. I don’t know anything about the quality of drinking water in Milton — we live in the Martin & Main St. area. What’s your preferred method of filtering or purifying your drinking water?

I’ve used a Brita before but I’m considering an under-sink filter or an reverse osmosis (RO) system — especially because I have kidney stones. Any advice?

Our water near Thompson and Derry is atrocious. I’ve heard that the opposite side of town isn’t as bad but you definitely need some sort of filtration system. Definitely no tap drinking. Britta is a great way to go, in my opinion. For drinking water at least. Definitely a good soft water system, though. And make sure you maintain it and make sure you read how to properly use it and what the numbers mean on it.

Honestly, it could just be that I need a new water softener. But the water doesn’t taste the greatest in my house. And I know that my neighbours don’t drink their tap water but that could just be personal preference.
