I was going to use Brita but I don’t see chlorine listed in what it filters out.

You can’t have the best, and yet have it be inexpensive. I’ve heard that reverse-osmosis water filters remove everything from the water. However, I’ve also heard that the most basic models cost at least $300 per sink/outlet. Maybe you should just start buying bottled water, thats what my family does, it does cost more, over time. However, it is easier to pay. I also suggest looking online, for chlorine filtering water filters. Our water problems aren’t with chlorine, so I haven’t looked into this yet.
Good Luck , and BTW, Brita is just a scam, all it has is a tiny filter to trap microorganisms, and reduce led, by adding MORE CHEMICALS. If you live in an apartment, odds are you don’t have microorganisms in your water to begin with , thats what the chlorine kills. So, don’t use Brita.
I have an under sink filter that has worked well for me. It is the American Standard. I paid $21.00 for it 5 years ago. The filter inside the canister is replaceable, usually about $3.00 to $15.00 depending on the type filter that you use. I have always just used the spun fiber and Charcoal filter, but you have an option of using compressed core types. These are listed as removing virtually all metals and the tasted of water purification chemicals. It is recommended that you change the filter every 6 months at a minimum. Also it is listed as a ‘Whole House’ filter, but mine just does the cold water line at my kitchen sink.
