Not having to rely on the man for water, definitely off grid.

I've been living with wells for quite some time but I don't understand all the extras you got.
Around here the well driller comes in, drills until he has water, then puts in 6" well pipe. 20 years ago I might have 'shocked' the well with bleach but only if there seemed to be an e-coli or other bacteria problem.
Personally I don't trust the water anymore. Some people have springs but a dead animal 20 feet upstream pretty much cancels water testing the day before the animal died. Farmers pouring glyphosate on fields that migrate into streams also jeopardize water.
I filter my water down to 1 micron, then run it through osmosis to take out arsenic, etc. so basically whatever happens to the water before purification never gets to my faucet.
