Ok so I am passing up on getting a water filtration system installed for the whole house, however am convinced to have 2 filters :

1 - Under the sink for drinking / cooking - which also will feed the fridge water

2 - on the Shower head to reduce chlorine.

Any suggestions on which brand / kind to purchase ? Any particular details I should pay attention to ?

Thanks in advance gals !

I don't know about feeding the fridge water but I use the Aquasana under sink system.
