I don't know the story of your groundwater if it's a big, giant mixture that resides under various farms or whatever. You could probably do some water testing or just get a filter if you'd like. How do you get internet out there in the woods?
I'm in the woods by a lake, but I have neighbors not too far away and I'm about 10 miles as the crow flies from a decent size town. No farmland within a few miles. I trust that the groundwater here has been undisturbed for at least 10,000 years. We have a softener because the water has a bit of iron in it, and an RO unit for drinking water.
I have a filter on my shower and I drink distilled water from plastic jugs in a vitamin mix. I could still be doing better with water, though. I'm renting, so I'm not going to install anything major.
You're doing fine. There are portable reverse osmosis units available. It would pay for itself over time by not having to buy water.
Why are you using plastic jugs should try and switch it to glass.
