Just looking at the tomatoes on the cover of that seed catalog is making my mouth water! I envy you being able to grow tomatoes, or anything else, for that matter. Unfortunately, the water here is so bad that it makes anything watered with it taste absolutely horrid, including tomatoes and strawberries (the two main things I've always wanted to grow). :-/ I use a Royal Doulton gravity filter for my drinking water and shower filters, but I don't know of anything that would work for the garden hose.
Unfortunately, the main issue here is the sheer amount of trihalomethanes left over from chemical treatment to make the water pass for potable under EPA standards. As for the actual amount of trihalomethanes left in the water, the 2018 water quality report showed the water from the south well (where my water comes from) to contain 78.5 ppb after treatment with the max allowable by the EPA at 80 ppb. :-p Thank gods for Royal Doulton's Supersterasyl filters, I'd be buying bottled water for cooking and drinking otherwise.
