If you are looking for a way to improve the taste of your tap water, then be sure to read this article.  Regardless of whether you have a well or get municipal water, you can still have a lot of minerals in your water, that cause your tap water to have a bad taste.  One of the best ways to improve your tap water is to install a water softener.  A water softener, basically filters out all of the heavy metals and minerals from your water, leaving you with much better tasting water.  To determine what is the best water softener for your home, you should first identify a spot where you will be placing your new water softener in.

There are a number of different sizes and types of water softeners on the market and if you have limited space you may only have a few options with which to go with.  Additionally, you should see how far away that location is from an electrical outlet, since most of the traditional water softeners will need to be plugged in.  The last thing you want to do is find that you are running an electrical cord to your brand new water softener or find that you need to call an electrician to install a new wall outlet for you.
