Don't worry about that. I am sure the "paper" ones are lined with plastic on the inside as well so you can be sure you will still receive your daily nutritious dose of microplastics.
I mean there's plastic in the water already no matter which way you do it.
Not mine, we have a sandy well, and copper pipes (none of the pex that’s going to kill the value of future homes).
We’ll just have our dissolved radon and arsenic in our water, thank you very much.
Aquifers aren't immune to plastic accumulation. You may indeed be fortunate and so far have purer water, but if you haven't tested for it, don't assume because it comes from deep underground it can't be affected.
