I'm glad you brought this up. I live in the city w/ chlorine in water from treatment plant. I always hear well water is better but it is treated w/ softener. I didn't know softened water was bad to drink. Mike has this & I do not like the taste of his tap water. He has filtered water on his fridge door & when that filter needs to be changed, it is full of bright orange crap.
Another question...is the water faucets outside - for the hose, softened water or straight from the well? I know strait well water is good for plants because of the iron in it. Thanks
