It looks like the best way is to go with something that requires a backwash. Find one that give the most time between would be the best.
The most popular ones - the On The Go and WaterPur/FlowPur Mark 8000, are two examples - are 8000 grains per gallon units. The higher the gpg rating the longer between regenerations.
The FlowPur web site is HERE
The Mark 8000 sells for $219 which includes shipping and includes test strips.
He also has a 10,000 gpg unit which will last longer between regenerations.
In CO where we are right now the water hardness is 20 gpg which is high and I have to regenerate my Mark 8000 every 30 days.
In AZ where we spend the winters the hardness is at least 50 gpg (that's as high as my test strips read) and I have to regenerate every 10 days.
If you use more or less water than we do, your time will vary. We use an average of 13 1/2 gallons per day.
