I have well water and a whole house filter and my water is still nasty. I don't drink highly processed tap water like Dasani or Aquifina either, only spring water. There are certain brands of spring water I won't touch either. Nestle is gross, it tastes/feels mushy. Cupcake got us a couple bottle of Ethos and it tasted very hard. I like Deer Park for the most part but often buy Fiji or Hawaii water as well.
sounds like you just have a sediment filter -
a proper whole house filtration/softening system is designed around the water coming from the well. too much iron? too much calcium? to much sulferdioxide? etc.
mine uses 2 cubic feet of softener catalyst, 1 cubic foot or pyrolux (removes sulfer dioxide and heavy metals), and one cubic foot of activated carbon to remove any other chemicals. used to smell like i was showering in a sulfer spring, now it tastes the same as a fresh britta filter.
most bottled waters taste like the plastic bottle anyways. and the longer they sit around the more chemicals leach into them from the bottle itself. properly filtered tap water is comparable to bottled water in glass bottles but a lot cheaper.
. For drinking water I just got the gallons of store brand spring water from wal-mart when I was stuck with a nasty well. We have Deer Park in the cooler at work.
it's only about 10x more expensive than gasoline
