Berkey is not a whole house solution. It is for drinking water, but they do sell shower filters which I've used. They work pretty well.
One fucked up thing is that often water supplies don't even use chlorine anymore, they use a cheaper thing....called chloramide or something like that. Harder to get rid of and will kill fish etc if not removed from the water. Great right?
I would get water tested first at reputable local place (ask your department of health or sanitation). See what's in it 100%, THEN choose filter based on that. But Berkey can handle damn near everything -- for drinking water.
