I know that more is better, but I'm about to lay out some $$ starting a new system. My thought is 4-6 stage, and would like to hear what others use?
Another way to ask this, is how good or bad do you think Sandy Springs water is?
The report for Fulton County, which provides water to Sandy Springs, looks pretty good...until you look down at the footnotes near the bottom, and see the waivers (exemtions) granted by the State of Georgia. I would make sure to have very good activated carbon filters for both my tank & drinking water-
"Waivers (exemptions) were extended to the county by the state in January 2017 through December 2019 for the following synthetic organic compounds: Alachlor, Aldicarb Sulfone, Aldicarb Sulfoxide, Atrazine, Benzo (A) Pyrene, Carbofuran, Chlorodane, Dalapon, Di (2-Ethylhexyl) Adipate, Dibromochloropropane (DBCP), Dinoseb, Diquat, Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate, Endothall, Endrin, Ethlyene Dibromide (EDB), Glyphosate, Heptachlor, Heptachlor Epoxide, Hexachlorobenzene, Hexaclorocyclopentadiene, Lindane, Methoxychlor, Oxymyl (Vydate), Pentachlorophenol, Picloram, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Simazine, 2,4-D, Toxapene, 2,4,5-TP (Silvex), 2,3,7,8-TCDD (Dioxin).
