To fix that problem you can install a Reverse Osmosis water filter system under your sink to get a "tap" of purified water and not have to buy water from the store. I got one with a pH re-mineralization stage to add back some beneficial minerals that RO purification removes. The filtered water tastes absolutely perfect.
About how much did your whole set up cost you and were you able to install it yourself or is this something a plumber would need to do?
It was about $175 if I recall correctly. Installed it myself, wasn't very difficult. Had to drill 3 holes under the sink for hoses to go in their places.
I think the drill was the only tool I needed. Replacement filter sets are around $80 per year, so the cost over time / per day is very small. I drink water from it several times per day.
EDIT: Oh yeah I needed some wrenches too for the T-junction connection. You have to turn off your water to the sink, then wrench free the pipe and install the T-junction in between, to tap the output for your filter system.
