Some areas' tap water is very, very nice (like Urbana, IL), others nasty
(like Jackson, MS, very soft but smells like a gaggle of skunks). Others
are in between (like Chicago, IL).

Now I have a well, fed, they say, through a deep ferrous aquifer from Lake
Superior where it took hundreds of years to get here. Taken straight it
tastes like a glassful of rusty nails. Thru the softener, it's pretty good
but at over 40 grains hardness and mucho iron it eats up the salt fast.
Tried a carbon filter on it, to my buddy and I in a taste test it made it
*worse*.
