You may as well get a R/O filter. If you are going to buy something off Amazon.
Stealth r/o is what I have. I have water with very high PPM brings it down to zero.
Not knowing your issue perhaps R/O not necessary but if your going to invest in something it may as well do the job.
You may only need a carbon filter.
What were the problems with water?

I've used an RO filter (amazon) for years and just became aware that the more GPD (gallons per day) an RO filter processes, the potential for more PPM passing thru.
e.g., a 50 gallon per day filter will give fewer PPMs than a 100 GPD filter will filter.
be aware that putting the waste water into a septic system can screw up the bacterial balance in there and overflow it.. I route it out on the lawn/shrubs..
