RO Water Filters -- should I bother?

[Guest guest]

I looked at RO water filters yesterday. The ones under the sink have a

plastic tube connecting the filtered water to the faucet. I understand

that the flexible tubing contains BPA and other harmful chemicals (not

to mention the PVC pipes themselves). Has anyone with such devices had

their tap water tested for plastics? Unless the connectors get changed

to, what, stainless steel (?) -- is it making a significant difference?

Doesn't seem like there are quick fixes to this problem, but I'm glad

to see that the govt is finally waking up to the issues. In the

meantime, I'm reluctant to boil anything anymore.

Recommendations for someone on a limited budget please?
