From the pressure tank, water travels through a network of pipes into your house, just like city water—except you’re your own boss. There’s no company to call, no monthly bill (well, besides the electricity to run the pump). But with great freedom comes great responsibility: you own every inch of that system, from pump to faucet.
Water quality also matters more. Because groundwater isn’t city-treated, you might need a filter or a water softener to handle minerals like iron or calcium. (Ever tasted water that smells like rotten eggs? That’s sulfur bacteria, and yes, it’s a thing. A filter fixes it, but don’t be shy—get it tested.)
