My parents live, and I grew up in, rural Pennsylvania. Our water supply is a well that taps into an underground mountain spring (found in 1961 by an old guy with a divining rod, I shit you not). Growing up, I took for granted getting "ice water" straight from the faucet. It took me awhile, after leaving home, to realize that kitchen and bathroom faucets aren't supposed to frost over when you leave the water run.
A few years ago, Dad had a filter salesman call on him and offered to test the water to determine his filtering needs. He tested it. Threw it out and tested it again. He did this four times, then packed up his kit and informed Dad that there was nothing that he could do for him as his water was 99.9% pure. His equipment couldn't test higher than that.
I've told Dad to buy a trailer load of empty plastic bottles, and fill them at the kitchen sink. He's retired...what else does he have to do? He'd make a fortune off of his tap water.
