We have wonderful tasting well water here in southeast Texas and I absolutely love it. We have lived here for about 12 years. Of course water can taste and smell differently from location to location so my recommendation would be to have your water tested. |

We just sold a house we built 25 years ago. Had never had the well tested until then and it came back perfect. Of course ours was far from the septic system. Your local health dept can test it for you. I prefer well water to drink because of the chlorine in city water. I hate the taste of the water here. |
We have city water, but i dislike the taste of chlorine so i buy Gerber or nursery water for my babes and i drink bottled water, I have a filter on my fridge but i like bottled better |

If the people you are buying the property from have not had the water tested in over a year consider getting it tested your self. Water content can change over time. You can't really go by how the water tastes since some water can taste great but still be contaminated. A shallow well can be more of a problem than a deeper one but it's always best to have the water tested to be safe. We once lived in an area that had such a high mineral content that the water would actually turn the shower a different color. It was awful. I couldn't live like that even with a water softener. |
I have a Brita picture. I wonder if that would be good to use. We too have well water. |
As someone else said well water can vary so much, unless you test it regularly you can never be sure what could be in it. City water is tested on a regular basis, plus of course all the nasty tasting chlorine in it. My first country home had an artisian well and the water was perfect, tasted great, had it tested and it was perfect. The place I have lived for 25 years here has awful well water, I could never drink it, although it tested safe to drink when we bought the place, it was so full of iron it ruined my appliances and stained my tub. Now I have city water and love it, but still don't drink it cause of the chlorinne. Filters will not get rid of all bacteria, that's why I still wouldn't give well water to an infant or someone with a lower immune system, why take chances. You can also boil the water before you give it do your dog, that will kill any bacteria. |
