Is RO the only answer or are there any good carbon based filters?
I recently sold my condo and am now temporarily renting, In my condo I had a RO system, but was unable to find one that didn’t require permanent modifications to the plumbing and/or countertop - which is a big no no when renting usually. The Clearly Filtered system does not require anything permanent at least.
That said, I do know some people who are renting and still install RO systems. They usually say they’ll deal with the consequences with the owner later, or just say they don’t care and the owner can go fuck themselves.
Although, one thing to keep in mind is that RO units typically waste a lot of water. For every gallon of filtrate they produce, they also dump 5 gallons down the drain.
