For well water, you need a whole-house RO system with pre-filtration. Think of it as a bouncer at a club: the pre-filters kick out the big, drunk particles (sediment, iron, sulfur), and then the RO membrane does the pat-down for the tiny, sneaky contaminants. Skip the pre-filters, and your expensive RO membrane will get clogged faster than a teenager’s phone with notifications.
