    I have already a drinking water purification system at my home. I am facing issue with skin like dry skin, itchiness, hair loss etc.

    So I am looking to install a whole house water treatment system.


    Also what about adding Chlorine / Fluoride / Pesticide removal as well, if this is possible?

    Any company or product you suggest? Any help welcome.

    I might be going for a cheap option - Lime Wizard Water Filter - www.earthridge.ie/lime-wizard , around 50 euro + few quid for installing this.

    Other solutions are 700+

    Is your house stand alone rural setting or in a built up area?

    Complete waste of money. It's not a water softening system. Even if it did work the lime Wizard is for electric showers. It's supposed to protect the element from limescale. You need to replace the filter every few hundred litres. You'd need to replace the filter daily or several times a week for the amount of water used by an entire house

    So you suggest to go for a proper system like clack? If Yes, Which company would you suggest for installing a clack system?

    Good choice.

    Have a CLACK maybe 4 or so years now.

    We had terrible limescale, kettle would be coated in a week.
