Answer:
You do not need a water filter unless there are demonstrated, proven and frequent cases of disease communicated by your local water supply. For virtually everyone in North America, Australia, Japan, most of Russia, New Zealand, Europe and South Africa water filters are a glorious waste of money and resources supported by a lot of advertising that implies health risks but does not actually say there are any. In short, they almost, but not quite, lie.
In fact domestic and office size water filters are dangerous to health because if the filter elements are not serviced or changed regularly they can change the odd bacterium that does get through the municipal system into a big colony right at your water tap.
No water filter that you can install at your home or in your office can remove metals in solution permanently. The most they can do is remove some of them until the activated carbon, if used, saturates and the metals go through anyway. No municipal water supply in the countries I have just mentioned have dangerous levels of heavy metals unless you have a situation as set out in that Brokhoff or Bronski or whatever the movie was. In that case only reverse osmosis or distillation would be any good and that would cost a lot more than a filter. Like five or ten times more.
Don't waste your money.
You may want to look into some filtration combined with UV treatment because leaky municipal supply pipes are going to allow mud and possible bacteria contamination. E-mail me at tedmullen@hotmail.com and tell me how many people you are providing water for and I can give you some suggestions. Also, tell me what kind of voltage and hertz your electricity is running in your area.
