iSpring is popular but I found they lied and got sued by federal trade commission for lying on where their filters came from (claimed USA and in actuality was China) so that deterred me from using them. they also don't seem to release any lab results on what their water filters remove that I could find. IMHO that should be easily found on Depot, Lowes or even their direct website which is 123filter... and I couldn't seem to find it.
I went with express water from Depot and their three stage heavy metal one. Ran about 500 and then I'm using a $55 200 micron spin down prefilter ahead of it and am on a well.
Express water outright says their filters are made in Taiwan and they release their lab they use and the corresponding lab results. Transparency is something I prefer and Taiwan is not China, so I was good with that. If you're not then go with proone for the home system as well. I'll be grabbing a proone at our next house but we use their gravity filters for drinking water so the house system is a redundant system for us.
Best of luck.

Do you need to reduce chlorine? Total dissolved solids? Heavy metals? Agricultural run-off? Sediment? Usually you'll be filtering for some combination of those things. And do you need point of use filtering or whole house? You also have to consider maintenance cost of replacing filters and if they're readily available. From what I've seen, AQUASURE gets decent reviews but the replacement filters can be hit or miss on whether they're available locally after about a year, and some of them get fairly expensive because of how often they get replaced.
Depending on your budget/needs, you might look at Springwell or EvoWater systems for whole house filtration.
softener alone prices not coming up as posted either.

1. look up the water quality report from your water company. it will say hardness, your water will only be above that number no less, anything above 3gpg means it is a little hard (it is your choice to have a water softener or not) above 7gpg means your water is HARD better get a water softener.
2. Do you have hard water stains on faucets etc pretty fast after each cleaning? if yes then you got hard water. ex like my Kettle got water stain after 2 weeks of regular use, then I know my water is super hard (it is 12gpg on water report)
Does anyone with more experience in this area know if this is correct? Or were they trying to get me to spend more money? I seem to remember water the softener we had when I was a kid was installed in the middle of our basement, which didn't seem to be where the water main connected to the house. I live in FL and the water is insanely bad - so any kind of system would be a life saver.
