Should I treat my water or get a water filtration system?

Water Filters vs. Water Softeners

Not sure which water treatment method is right for you? Take a few facts into consideration. Water softening treatments use sodium to reduce or remove the hardness in water. They may also reduce the healthier minerals in the water, however. Water filters do not add anything to the water supply. They are designed to effectively remove dangerous elements from the water. This is done by having the untreated water pass through a system of meshes and/or carbon granules. These filtration systems can be installed inside or outside your home.

We are building a retreat, going all green as much as possible. This info was helpful. The hardest part of going all green is the cost. Havn't found any solutions for that. Thank you
