Generally well water should be safe, but not necessarily pleasant, to drink without any sterilization or purification. Why they need chlorine in city systems is that often the water is coming from a semi-questionable source, for instance out of a lake or a river.
For drinking water we have one of the ispring branded filter systems. For example: https://www.amazon.com/iSpring-RCC7AK-Capacity-Drinking-Remineralization/dp/B005LJ8EXU . I also bought like the 2-3 year filtration kit at the same time. We have it under the kitchen sink and it is also plumbed to the ice maker in the fridge so the ice is filtered as well. If it failed, I'd buy another one without any hesitation. They have different number of stages systems, and if I remember correctly some of the smaller stage systems have different options for the stages depending on the water conditions you're trying to resolve. I would recommend getting the water tested, first, if you haven't already done so. Generally you will take a sample before any filtration and send it off to a lab which will tell you what is in the water. It will also let you know if anything bad is in the water...
