I think that is a good way to go, but UV does not remove particles, so I want to be able to clear the water first and then have several systems to make sure the water is safe to drink

“...I want to be able to clear the water first...”

Agreed. We do too. Our 25,000 gallon cistern could be cleared as we use it by staged filtration. I like that approach.

We have two wells, but need power to pump the water. We are working on that too. We are thinking about a natural gas fueled generator, 17 kw Generac or equivalent. We have mineral rights to a gas well and would pipe directly from the well when it is SHTF time. Otherwise, the generator would give us uninterrupted power during temporary interruptions.
