My problem with all water along the SE coast is they are way to soft
and
you can taste and actually smell the limestone. The water in Myrtle
Beach has got to the worst water I have ever tasted, and it is
impossible
to completely rinse off in the shower.

On the other hand, NYC has the best tasting water in the world.
Which is why they have the best tasting pizza.

I had forgotten about Florida well water and the contraptions of tanks
and
salt bins used to make it useable. Even with new carbon filters plus
the
salt and something else that I can't remember, you could still smell
sulfur.

I miss the mid-winter weather, but I don't miss the water.

Water comes out of my well at 7.4PH No need for a softener. We do have a
chlorine sanitizing system so there is no taste or odor. There was a
sulpher
smell to the water when we first moved in but it went away when the filter
was turned on. I didn't notice any water problems at your place but then I
don't recall drinking any. ;-)
One of the things I hate about the water at the kids houses is the
water is too soft.

I have real water - with calcium, iron and it's hard as a rock.

Which is the way water should be. :)


We put a private well in several years back. They had to go down just over
500' in order to get the flow rates they wanted.
It's used primarily for the sprinkler systems for the lawns and one of the
horse paddocks, but we also plumbed it into the pool water make up system
and the cabana's sink. I'll betcha if we had it tested, it would be purer,
better water than the town supplies to the house.

We lucked out and got a high flow of good water at 250'. One of our
near-neighbors had to go down more than 400 feet. We get a water test
every year from the county and so far, so good. The county has little
interest in piping municipal water to "us'ns" out here in ruralville.
