What we'd install
Here is your system: whole-home catalytic carbon for the chloramine at every tap, plus reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink for the water you drink, cook with, and freeze. It is the setup we put in most homes on this water, and it earns its keep every single day.

What this means at your house
Your water arrives with chloramine in it, at 2.0 parts per million. That is the disinfectant St. Tam Parish - Cross Gates SD (Lacombe, parish-run) uses, and it is what people taste in coffee, in ice, and in the first glass of the day. Chloramine does not gas off in a pitcher the way chlorine does, so catalytic carbon is the piece that takes it out, at every tap in the house.
The water here is groundwater, pumped from Cross Gates/Meadow Lake wells.
