You don't need to chlorinate water from your own well, unless maybe you have a cistern that you are filling for storage.
replyAnd who's going to know if you are drinking it or watering your garden?
At the very least I would UV disinfect anything coming from the ground and absolutely make use of a 20 micron sediment filter if only to address cognitive load: Another place, another time, coliform bacteria from the well. Super fun(not).
replyI vacillate between trusting my well and trusting my RO (10,5,1 micron filters, plus the membrane). But it isn't healthy to drink RO all the time and I don't wanna mess with remineralization.
replyMy well is 100' and 13 years old.
For me I'd do a sediment filter and a charcoal filter and call it good. Send a sample out for analysis a few times a year.
