Yes it seems like a waste, but the quality of our well water is so horrible (it all is around here) all water coming into the house must be filtered then minerals added to it. Basically a small water treatment plant.
Aha, I know exactly of what you speak! When we moved into our house back in ‘99, it had the same thing. Had it stayed that way, we might have also considered other options. It was truly obnoxious and smelly water that left the sinks and tubs yellow, even with the mini treatment plant outside, which stained the area around it dark purple. But fortune smiled on us, and our neighborhood was scheduled for a city water hookup. I think that happened in around 2003-ish. We still use the well to water the grass, though, and are envied by people in neighborhoods that have had city water all along and who don’t have that option. Now I only wish they would put in city sewage lines, too, but that ain’t gonna happen!
