Well water is more difficult to purify than city water. I would not just go and listen to a water softener salesperson at say Sears to make a decision. I would call out a water expert and analyze the water for hard to remove substances commonly found in well water like iron, sulfur, nitrates and nitrites from fertilizers. Get their recommendations so if you do this you do it right. Once you remove the really bad stuff you may want to install a reverse osmosis system they work great. And the best place to buy one is on Ebay, they have the best systems and the best prices.
Find out possible contamination (previous farm land? Pesticide?) match a filter to the contaminates. Water-softener look for price.
Is it well insulated is there mold growing anywhere?
make sure its one that the filters are easy to clean Lowe’s or home depot sell ones under 300 that are pretty good also they sometimes have specials on free installation
I would take a sample and have it tested.

Generally speaking, well water is high in iron.
If you have children you should take them to the dentist for fluoride treatments or administer them yourself.
Children that grow up without fluoride in there drinking water usually experience more Dental problems than kids that consume treated city water.
