A well may not be a viable solution for Rattlesnake Island.

I know many islanders drink lake water untreated. I would not recommend it.

I use a Pura UVB3 filter. The water passes through a sediment filter chamber, then a carbon block filter, then a carbon granular filter and finally a UV chamber. The water has no taste or odor.

Bottled water is not a pure as many people think and can have significant bacteria content.
