“ Is there a filter that removes particles well enough that it tastes just like regular bottled drinking water?”
+1 on First Need.
+1 on Rocky Mountain water

If you want to get rid of the tannis flavor, First Need does an amazing job. That is if you want the extreme: lake water now tastes like distilled water.

I used the First Need extensively in the Midwest; it being the only filter that will turn brown water crystal clear.

Being in the mountains, I DON’T want to turn mountain water into distilled-tasting water; so I use UV out here to keep the high mineral-energy boosting taste.

Good luck in your filter choice,
