Living with well water
My wife & I are looking at houses on the outskirts of the Seattle area. I
posted awhile back about septic systems, which many of these houses have & which I had never experienced, & got some good feedback. Often, these same houses have well water, which outside of those hand operated pumps in parks etc., I haven't really had much contact with. I'm sure it varies from one well to another, but in general, what's it like living with well water? You hear horror stories about whole neighborhoods having their wells contaminated from some long abandoned factory etc. Also about the water having a bad taste sometimes, being exceptionally hard, so it's tough on fixtures, clothes washed in it, your skin, and so on. I'm guessing there are filtration systems you can install, as well as water softeners. Is there generally a pump present? Any helpful observations appreciated! Dan |
