Thanks David and John for all your answers!
I don't mind spending the money for a good UV and filtration system, if the water is of great quality afterwards and tastes good. So that sounds good. Testing is a good way to go. I imagine that the labs for that are on Oahu, so sending the sample over there possibly, not such a hard thing to do for purity sake.
I grew up in Lebanon, Oregon on well water. The water was always in good shape/taste. I remember adding bleach to it I think when it was dug, letting it adjust or something like that and then once or twice again later. Other than the changing to a new pump, it was fine until 45 years later when we sold our Mom's house a year ago. We all had the wells in the front yard off the street and the septics in the back of the House. They were lots of around 12,000sf. Hawaii with the lava though is quite different with it being so porous and lava tubes come into consideration too.
I had forgotten about the cane and chemical issues. There is so much to remember when doing all of this.

Thanks again!
