Yep, LOTS of waste.

I added one of these to the cold water tap of my kitchen sink.
"Prep Sink & Bar" Water Filtration System
It reduces the pressure a bit, but I figure it helps with the cooking water. We also added a filter to the line feeding the refrigerator. Then we replaced our old refrigerator with one that has it's own filter and water dispenser. I guess our ice and drinking water is now super, triple filtered.

Still, despite all that, it can't touch the well water at my mother's house in the panhandle of florida. You can taste the difference in her water. Not only that, but the ice freezes almost completely clear.
