I wouldn't let living in an apartment prevent me from having an RO unit. They make faucet attachments that just screw onto a standard kitchen or bathroom faucet. No big deal, unless you're concerned about the increase in waste water, or the initial cost of the unit. Then I can see your point.
You can batch run the RO water into storage containers and use it all week for top offs and mixing your salt.
About the only way I know of determining if a "water filter" will eliminate the nasties in tap water is to test the tap water before and after it runs through the filter.
Many of the "family" kitchen drinking water filters use some activated charcoal or resins to remove chlorine and other substances. IMO - depending on your tap water quality to begin with - they may work - or they may not.
