Reverse Osmosis water system for sink and fridge (lemmy.world)

Our town's water keeps failing to meet DEP standards, so I'm investing in a filtration system for our drinking water. What I think I'm looking for is:

Has a tank, since there are 5 of us
Filters out lead, PFAS, PFOA, etc. (Which is why I'm leaning towards RO)
Good warranty and customer service, for when something inevitably goes wrong
Remineralization (picky about water taste)
UV (maybe?)

Does anyone have recommendations for a quality brand, or one that they've had for years that they like? I'm not sure where to even start.

I’ve got this one for almost 4 years ango and have been happy with it.

I have it hooked up to the fridge and a RO tap by the sink. a couple of things I would tell you is get a bigger tank than what it comes with (2.5 gal). And don’t install it under the sink because it’s hard to get at the filters to change them and the pump can be noisy when refilling the tank.

Seconded, I have the version without the pump since water pressure is plenty in my city.
