With that being said, when our build starts we will have some kind of filtration system on it prior to getting to the home.

Our well is old and janky as all get out. Tested positive for e coli a couple of years ago, it has never tasted good in the eight years I've lived here and we flat out don't trust it. We would love to get a filtration system but we'll be selling this place in the next five years and moving out to a house we inherited from my husband's grandmother when she died. It's going to take $$$ to make it liveable though and that's where our money will go. 

The Berkey is solid for us. And the water tastes so dang good!
