      I guess this depends on things like location, soil type, and environmentally disruptive neighbours.

      I grew up in a Scandinavian forest with a well, no filtering needed. Sure, after heavy rainfall the water could end up containing a few more minerals than usual, but it would never require filtering, and the house has been standing for almost 40 years now without sediments building up.

        Same here. I grew up in the woods of maine. No filter needed. My friends a few dozen kilometers away had horrible water though.
