It's not a personal well, about 150 of us share the system. At teh well head, we only inject chlorine to CA-mandated standards. The Defender filters that out, and would protect from the MTBE, should that cloud ever reach our aquafer.
Mine is being drilled (I think) next week or the week after. No tests or anything done of course, so not sure what we do/don't need. I've been looking at a few brands and systems. Not sure what we'll need, but getting prepped.
