We have well water, that tastes great, but the dissolved minerals are killing our plumbing fixtures. We had a water report done by a Kinetico dealer and I have friends with these units. My question is will a 2060 impart any taste to our already great tasting water, and if I add the RO option would that add any taste also?

I grew up drinking three-day-old coffee and find it just fine. Serve me a fresh cup and YUK! Let it sit. Not really, but you got my point.
Taste, being subjective, is never an easy thing to describe, predict or evaluate.
A softener will CHANGE your taste and some prefer cleaner water. An RO will NOT add to the taste. It will change it but add nothing. It will remove elements that impart odor and taste.
Remember: true water is an odorless, colorless and tasteless liquid. If you taste anything, it is not the H20 that you are tasting.
What are your water test results?
