It’s never made sense to me that some people refuse to drink water even if they know it keeps you functioning properly. The same people will complain of constipation or dry skin but don’t want to do the thing that fixes their issues.

I grew up drinking well water that tastes amazing. When I moved from home I have found that every other water tastes horrid (with a few exceptions). I can drink bad water when it is really cold. I know drinking water is good for me, I do force myself to drink it, but no where near as much as that well water.
Have you considered getting a filter?
A filter does not improve the flavor, only changes it, and it removes TDS that help hydrate.
Guys, please stop downvoting the guy- well water contians more minerals and salts and things that give it it’s distinctive taste (and as someone that grew up with well water, lemme tell you, it can DEFINITELY have a taste- hell, a buddy of ours from school could barely drink it cause he said it tasted like blood- high in copper and iron I think?)
Filtering water makes it taste vastly LESS like well water! So if that’s what you’re going for/wanting, filtering is the worst thing you could do.
And yes, depending on well water, it may have more salts dissolved in it, which could help with hydration in the same way Gatorade does.
I’d still recommend a filter. It’s not just for drinking it straight but pasta, rice, soup and other boiling makes a huge difference.
Eating a spoon of rice and have it taste like sink water with carbs is not a good vibe. I want it to taste like rice or rice with minerals.
What do you think the filter is removing? It is getting rid of the minerals.
It is, along with other less desirable compounds like chlorine and PFAS depending on the filter.
