Mom2twins, I'm confused about something. HOW do you put a cup of bleach in the well? I am thinking your well is something differnent that mine. Is yours a standing well? Ours is not--- we have a pipe that goes nearly 100 feet down into the ground, into the aquifer itself and so how could one pour anything down there? The aquifer is huge, anyways! Even a whole bottle wouldn't do a thing.

That water purifying system---is that the kind that uses those huge bags of salt? We can't afford that. My husband would NEVER go for it. He swears this is the best water in the world. But he isn't the one battling the water spots on everything from the microwave to the bathroom countertop. Buying a brita filter for the sink wouldn't help either---- as I'd have to replace cartridges constantly, couldn't afford that, and DH won't buy it.

I'm stuck with it, I guess.

I had one of those expensive scrubbing bubbles shower cleaners and loved it until it broke. I got it from BzzAgent. I ended up buying mom one, but she has well water too, and won't give it up the machine! LOL

OH WELL!!

Oh, and mom2twins, isn't that bottled water the same as what is coming out of the aquifer? Remember when 60 Minutes and 20/20 did all of those pieces on how people were paying out the yin yang for bottled water and it turned out to be nothing more than tap water? If you look on some of the bottles it has a code there, something like 3 letters, I forget what they are, but the stand for 3 words that basically say something to the tune of "From The Tap".
