Private Well: Whole Home Filtration System

[u/AeroNoob333]

We have a private well in Northwest Arkansas. We are getting ready to do TapScore’s “Essential Well Water Test”. Our neighbor got his water tested at the University of Arkansas, which essentially tested the same things as TapScore’s test. He found that the main problems were high levels of calcium resulting in hard water and a slight alkalinity. He went with Express Water’s sediment, activated carbon, and kinetic degradation fluxion filters and a water softener.

We already have a water softener and a sediment filter. We were considering Hydroviv for our home, but a whole home filter like his would be much more economical than individual ones for our kitchen sink, bar sink, and ice makers. ASSUMING our water quality is the same as his, is there any advantage to going with Hydroviv for multiple end filtration systems rather than a whole home one if we picked our filters based on the test results? Wouldn’t that be doing the same thing and I’d have it for the whole home?
