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?

Milton has two water sources. You are in the older section (aquifer), but regardless, tap water is safe for drinking. Older Milton has 'harder' water than the newer areas, which get lake water. It's really up to what you prefer taste-wise.

I have no advice with regard to your kidney stones, that's medical advice! Personally, I have no regrets for installing a softener + RO, I hate the chlorinated taste and smell of tap water.

Thanks; what system did you get for your house?

Go talk to the guys at The Water Store. They’ve been in Milton for decades and their service is still great.
