Default Scale, small particles in well water...water filtration system?

We are getting scale and small particles out of our well water, what type of filtration filter should I get and where?
The water leaves a residue on glass and the water bowls for the dogs.
Any help would be appreciated.

A water test will make finding a solution much easier. It sounds like some form of hardness minerals are at the root of your problem. A water test would narrow the possibilities. Are you considering a partial basic solution, or are you looking for a comprehensive solution?

Thank you,

We have a filtration system in the house but the well distibutes water to the barn and the other out buildings, so I was wondering what type of system I could use just at the well head. I have seen a few different types and the simpler the better.

As always, the starting point is a water analysis. From there, we can find a solution to nearly any water problem. For a basic water test to get us in the ballpark, see here: All in One Water Testing Kits for Do It Yourself water quality testing for a laboratory quality test, see here: Professional Laboratory Testing for Water Quality Analysis

My initial guess is that you have a hard water problem, but again, a water test will tell the whole story.

Thank you,
