I have well water too with the pipe that comes out of ground and a pump in it. I have heard that you can take those clorine tabs that are used in swimming pools and just toss them in the pipe. I absolutely hate our water. It also leaves all the mineral deposite stains on the faucets and the sink. I have tried all the fancy schmancy stuff on the store shelves and NOTHING removes them. We also have a rust issue even with the water softener (uses the bags of salt). Our water softener has a back flush system which cleans itself out nightly.

My advice is to get a whole house filter system (not cheap) if you really hate your water. A friend of mine has one and her clothes are just beautiful! She can drink straight from the tap.
I have an under the sink filter system and that does cut down on the bad taste but we still buy water from the store. I think that bottled water is a bit more filtered or distilled before its bottled.
