In LA the water often tastes bad. I use a Brita filter which makes thing a little better but it still isn't great.

I miss the water in Munich...

Just get a high quality filter. I bought an RO and love it but there are other high quality filters out there.

I've heard RO water is not that good for your health, it removes a lot of good salts and other stuff from it.

Unless you are buying spring water, all bottled water and soda water is just RO water with something added back. RO water is as pure as it gets. There are many discussions about RO but if you think about it, the quantity of salts is so miniscule in water that you would get it back from food anyway. Anyway I use a remineralizer as the last step after RO just for the taste. The RO taste is a bit sharp for me.

You can go all out and get a reverse osmosis system installed under your sink that also has a re-mineralizer. Adding the right minerals back in is important for flavour.
