Most filters won't remove petroleum type contaminants, and getting a high quality filter out here is expensive and comes with a 2-3 month wait.

Again, I bring this up to stir some thought for all of you: do you trust your water supply? Do you have options if something goes wrong?


After today we will, once the drill another well for us. The original one when tested before purchase said will require a new well, sooner, than later. That one is at 200' with a level down around 150ish.

The new one will hit water then go another 100' deeper. So we'll have 2 producing wells . Aside from those. We also have 5 - 275 gal totes for rain water. along with 5-5o gal ones in other areas.
