Default Water filtering

I notice you mention well water. In this geographic area the water is very hard. I would put in a water softener. If there is a lot of iron/mineral a filter should be used. You clothes will appreciate that.

Radon in the water is common. You may want to check that out and install a radon filter.

Once all this is taking care of, you will notice your pipes and hot water heater will last a lot longer!

As for drinking water, an osmosis filter is a lot cheaper in the long run than buying bottled water!
