Can't comment on UV sterilization for domestic water, but we have an ozonator on our hot tub. For the hot tub it's great because it pretty much eliminates the need for chlorination. We have had to replace the ozonator once in about 12 years and it wasn't terribly expensive.

Moving to a house with well water.  It's actually my parents old house where I grew up so I'm very familiar with the water there. Currently spoiled by nice, clean municipal water.  That house has very high iron and manganese levels.  Definitely also have hydrogen sulfide because you can smell and taste it.

There's already a salt water softener and that helps quite a bit, but I'm looking at other some of these filter systems to put inline as well.  Wondering if this crowd has opinions or preferred brands for that stuff.  All 2c opinions are welcome.

I'm also not sure about UV sterilization vs a chlorine injector system.  Seems like the UV is less maintenance because all you do is change the bulb once a year, but IDK it's my first time looking at this stuff.  Any opinions on that?
