Does anyone have a better suggestion? I am all for changing the filter on time but if they are putting something in the water at their choosing, that seems wrong.

ConsumerReports rated the Clear2O filter one of the best [0]. I've been using it for over 24 months in Pittsburgh, PA and I can definitely taste the difference. I haven't done the math, but I feel like their filters are cheaper than Brita filters. They have published a fact sheet on their website [1] showing what their filters remove.

Colour the water but leave the taste - can choose the alert colour.
