Hi again Martin! OK, this is the deal, I never use well water for making bottles, only for sterilizing them. I mostly use the Premixed formula (expensive but convenient!), If I do use the powder I use bottled infant water, which says to boil also prior to using, but I haven't (Do you think I should?) & Actually, we have a bottled water cooler which my husband and I drink out of, but I do use the well water for cooking etc. and Dalton's baths. We just got a new well dug and it tested ok, but you still never know I suppose! I was thinking about this too today when I was washing dishes, I don't sterilize the baby spoons etc in boiling water, only the bottles?? I think I opened a can of worms with this question huh? I think I am going to look for one of those bottle sterilizers you suggested. We try to be so careful with germs etc but it just seems they are everywhere! Even adults never know what can be on the food we buy!! frustrating! Thanks for using your expertise to answer my bottle question!!!!!! I will hang it up after this it's getting too confusing!! Take care
