Undersink filter with a dedicated drinking water tap. Removes the chlorine taste that is probably what makes you think salty. You can get the whole setup for $75 and install it yourself. The filters are $40ish and last 6-12 months.
Some fridges have cold filtered water taps built in.
Reverse osmosis filter, you can just get an under the sink one of you don't plan on drinking your shower water. Kind of pricey up front, and you have to replace the filters every so often, but it gives good taste and peace of mind for filtering.
I am telling you from first hand viewing that bottled water plants use the same kind of filtering.
There are good filtering systems you can get to add to your sink or water supply. At most you're looking at a couple hundred for something that will last years. The water in plastic bottles is not immune to leeching things from the bottles as well, but I guess it's a matter of weighing which you prefer.
