So I am thinking of upgrading my filtration system next year. Currently I only have a single stage sediment filter, and realize I need to get at least a second stage in place... I see some people going with these UV filters... Are they really necessary....

I am thinking just a sediment and then carbon filter will do the trick... for most uses... Doing the UV on the entire house just seems like over kill... if the lake was that dirty, we wouldn't even want to be swimming in it...

I am not saying that down the road I won't put a small unit with UV under the kitchen sink... but the entire house seems a bit over kill...
