I want to buy (or at least find and consider) a water filter that goes between the tap and water line (or, alternatively, on the end of the tap). I don't mean something like a Brita filter - I'm concerned with removing heavy metals and other nasties from my tap water (I live in Seoul, and don't entirely trust it). Does anyone know where I should start looking? I don't know anyone else who has one.

I know you can get bottles delivered easily, but I'd like to consider the filter option as my apartment is pretty small and I don't want another freestanding appliance taking up space.

2 options that I know of:

1. Have water jugs delivered to your door.

2. Rent (or buy) a filter from a company. I rent from Woonjin and pay 30,000 a month. They install and service it regularly. There are many companies and competition is high. I had a Korean speaker call them for me and they waived the 100,000 won "enrollment fee."

I saw a bunch of Britas for sale at Homever today.
