I had two carnivorous plants so far, but they all died after 3 months or so. I need to learn how to better care for them, cause I think they are so cool.

As others mentioned, try distilled/purified water. Also killed a bunch myself before switching to it.
Some of them also hibernate so I do wonder how many people have thought their plant died when it was just hibernating. Lots of the sundews don’t require a hibernation period so if you want to start with easy plants that are carnivorous and also extremely beautiful go with Sundews!
the water from my house come's from a well, I thought that was the most "natural" water could get
Probably depends on your geographical location and the quality of the waterbed :) But in many countries, the groundwater isn't optimal for plants that come from the other side of the planet. Personally I think it's because our water naturally has a lot of calcium and magnesium that somehow killed mine.
