Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

I live on the well and our water is acting funny so I have to get water from the store. Is there anything I should do to it first before I change the turtle water ?

No. Just treat it with water conditioner like normal.

If it's not chlorinated, I don't think anything is needed.

WHat is wrong with the well water?

To save yourself some money, see if there is somewhere you can get city water from, like a school or another public facility. My in-laws have a well (that has been previously deemed bad for human consumption) so they have a lot of those really sturdy bottles and they fill them with city water from their mom's house.
