We have horrid-tasting water here. DH called Culligan and they
installed an RO system under our kitchen sink with a tube to the fridge
so that the ice cubes and water are also RO.

We rent the system from Culligan as 1)neither of us want to change those
filters ourselves, 2)the cost of renting includes 24/7 emergency service
and the cost of the filters and 3)we are still saving over the cost of
bottled water, which is also RO water.

When we travel in the RV we take jugs of our own RO water with us. This
is the only water we give to our dog while traveling.
