I have an ordinary commercial "whole house" water filter in my hot and cold water lines. For my water (Silicon Valley) I use a sediment cartridge followed by a carbon cartridge in the cold-water line, and then another sediment cartridge in the hot-water line (downstream of the hot water heater). This completely solves the problem. Filters are available to attach to your faucet in case you don't want to do plumbing.
