I am in SW Florida where the city water sucks and my well water is
just nasty. (Sulfur, minerals, salt water intrusion etc)
We run it through an aerator, water softener, filter and then a
reverse osmosis unit.
It is as good as bottled water then.


I grew up on a farm in east Texas, and we used a well. The water was
really good for drinking but bad for washing (it took a LOT of rinsing
to get the soap out). The water looked like weak beer (especially when
it hadn't been used for awhile). My grandmother said it had been tested
and had iron in it, but a filter would be too expensive.

Iron builds strong bones. Much better than that calcium stuff God
usually uses for mass-produced humans. .
