8Im with you....copper will be run in my next home
Copper is really effective but I wouldn't get hung up on it. You want a whole house filter or RO, or just filter your water out the tap.
Bacteria is particulate so it gets stuck in the filter.
The only thing you can't easily filter is dissolved ions such as chlorine and fluoride. But an RO will (to around 80-90%)

🤔 300ft well + copper +boil or fridge filter= is enough 😬
100ft well + send away a water sample to a test company.
Boiling is not needed unless you have bacterial contamination, which you shouldn't.
But the test company will give you a heavy metal assay which will give you a lot of peace of mind.

i will look into that also .. currently , i use a brita filter .. its just a pitcher though.. i did quit using it normally.. the water goes directly into a glass pitcher (the plastic one got cracked)
Same here, but I more or less trust the water here...
i dont trust ours one bit .. (in kansas)
the water in SE Oklahoma should be way better

If I was in that situation, I'd be looking at an RO
