    A reverse osmosis filter will run you $150 for parts - plus install and yearly filter changes. Start with that for costs. I would assume eu costs are similar but that is sometimes very wrong.

      And what to do with the waste water from the reverse osmosis (now more contaminated than the input)? And who pays for the water wasted?

        it goes to the sewer system which needs to be able to take care of things anyway. The amount of waste water through a RO system insignificant - your toilet flushing needs will use more water than your RO drinking water needs. (a typical low flush toilet, though some camping toilets use less)
