I'll guess your well water is not chlorinated. There is a product by Camco called TastePure.
It contains sodium hypochlorite. You mix it at 1 oz per 20 gallons and it keeps any algae or slime from forming in your tank. I used it as a purifier when we were camping and had to fill from an untested source.
Camco says it's safe to drink the water at these mixing ratios but we've found it has a slight chlorine taste when we've used it. Wasn't terrible but we used our bottled water for drinking for that trip. Once I rinsed the tank after coming home the tase was gone. I use this product now for spring sanitation of the FW system.
There are drinking water test kits available (you probably use them for your well water) that can tell you if the water is safe to use.
