My wife accidentally ruined my childhood

I don't have any funny stories, but I'm on some acreage with a well, too. I have a whole house water filter. There is a big fiberglass bottle, which looks like an oxygen bottle, filled with this material called KDF (the material looks like coffee crystals) with a programmable timer head on top. The well water travels thru the KDF media, and it filters out the excess iron, manganese, etc. then thru a 20 micron disposable element cartridge filter. I have mine programmed to backflush the KDF once a night at like 2:00am, and then it just flushes it into my shop sink in the garage, which just sends it out to the septic system. After the initial cost of the system, the only tangible expense is replacing the filter cartridge every 6mos, $20. I got my system from Custom Pure in Seattle.
