Beacon sits about an hour south of Lake Katrine, down Route 9W along the eastern shore of the Hudson. Water treatment for homes and businesses in Beacon, NY.
Beacon's water comes from three surface reservoirs on Mount Beacon and Cargill, plus groundwater wells — so the supply is usually soft and consistent, and the taste complaints are usually about something else.
Reservoir water is low in hardness, which is why a softener is often unnecessary here. What people notice instead is chlorine taste and, in older houses, rust or sediment from the plumbing itself. Those are different problems with different fixes, and neither one is solved by a softener.
A whole-house carbon filter addresses chlorine taste and odour across every tap. A point-of-use unit under the kitchen sink does the drinking water for less money. Which you need depends on whether the complaint is about drinking water or about the shower and the laundry.

Unlikely, since the reservoirs supply soft surface water. If someone has told you otherwise, ask for a hardness test result first. Without a number, it is a sales pitch.
Chlorine is used to disinfect the supply, and it is more noticeable in some seasons than others. A carbon filter — whole-house or under-sink — removes it. Leaving a jug in the fridge overnight does the same thing more slowly.
