Re the filter, I have had good taste-improvement results from a quite inexpensive whole-house clear shell water filter, using carbon cartridges, bought from a big box home supply store. The goal was removing "tank taste", and it has worked well this first year. I plan to change cartridges each season, and need to remember that its one more thing to switch out and drain as part of winterizing, but that's easy. It came with pipe thread fittings, so adapters to PEX would be required. An example is: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Glacier-Bay-Advanced-Household-Water-Filtration-System-HDG2VS4/205582288
