My best friend's husband is a plumber, and he installed a filtration system for us. It's not a really good one, though - the one that would have really done the job was over $5k - just couldn't justify it at the time. Now, though, when I see what it could be doing to my paint.... well, I might have to reconsider.

Thanks for the alcohol tip! Tried it this evening, and even though it's not perfect (yet) I can see a HUGE improvement! I'll do it again when I have more time for the alcohol to sit...

Nice to hear success, feel free to up the dilution of alcohol or a compo with vinigar.

Use a solution of diluted WHITE vinegar. Don't use apple cider vinegar. Alcohol will work but not nearly as well.
