I have pretty much the same set up as Slickcraft. Two sediment filters (5 and 50 micron) followed by a UV filter then a carbon filter under the the kitchen sink that also feeds our ice maker in the freezer. Change the sediment filters twice a year and the UV bulb every spring whether it is dead or not. Ultraviolet will lose some of its effectiveness as the bulb ages and that is why I change it every year. Sediment filters are cheap around $10.00 or so each. The UV bulb is not but can be found cheapest on line for around $60.00 or $70.00.
R-Gal, the UV filter has no affect on water taste whatsoever. A simple inexpensive carbon activated filter works extremely well for making water taste great!! You should definitely install that UV filter system!!
