Yes, you can (and it's very common and recommended) to combine your Ecoservice whole-house softener with a separate drinking-water filter for chlorine and fluoride. This is a standard "best of both worlds" setup used in Israel and worldwide: the Ecoservice (or similar Clack-based salt softener) handles hardness/scale prevention for the entire house (showers, appliances, pipes), while a dedicated under-sink Reverse Osmosis (RO) system at the kitchen tap provides deep filtration for drinking and cooking water.Why This Works Well

Yes, you can (and it's very common and recommended) to combine your Ecoservice whole-house softener with a separate drinking-water filter for chlorine and fluoride.

• Order of installation: Softener first (on the main line), then RO on the cold kitchen line. Softened water feeds the RO, which is actually better for the RO membrane (hard water can shorten membrane life).
• What the softener does: Removes calcium/magnesium (scale). Does not effectively remove chlorine or fluoride.
• What the separate RO adds:
  • Chlorine: Excellent removal (activated carbon stages handle it easily).
  • Fluoride: Very good removal (typically 90-95%+ with a standard RO membrane).
  • Bonus: Microplastics, heavy metals, nitrates, TDS, bacteria, etc.

Many Israeli homes with softeners pair them exactly this way.Recommended Setup in Israel

1. Keep your Ecoservice softener for whole-house protection.
2. Add an under-sink RO for drinking water:
   • Popular & reliable options: Aquaphor (e.g., Morion or similar models widely available), Mey Bereshit (מי בראשית), or other local RO systems (5-7 stages with remineralization for better taste).
   • Cost: Usually 2,000–5,000 ILS installed, plus annual filter changes (~300-600 ILS).
   • Look for models with good chlorine pre-filter + RO membrane + post-carbon.

Pro tips:

• Install a simple sediment or carbon pre-filter if needed before the softener for extra protection.
• Some people add a whole-house carbon filter for chlorine reduction everywhere (showers too), but it's optional and more expensive — most prefer RO only at the kitchen for cost/efficiency.
• After softening + RO, the water is very pure, so remineralization (common in good RO systems) helps restore taste and minerals.

Contact Ecoservice — they likely offer or can recommend compatible RO systems and may even install both. Many softener companies bundle or partner for this.If you tell me your city/region, apartment vs. house, or budget, I can suggest more specific models or dealers. This combo will give you soft water throughout + clean, low-chlorine/fluoride drinking water!
