Why does water go off in one week when it has filtered through rocks for millions of years?

By going off, I am assuming you mean going bad. When water is underground, it is scrubbed by sand and isn't exposed to the air. When you expose it to the open air and anything else it can touch, you have contaminated it with bacteria.

How water and wind breakdown rocks?
The way water and wind breakdown rocks is through erosion. This is the wearing away of the surface of the rock through continuous friction with its surface. The same amount of water (or wind) will wear away rocks of different hardness at different rates. Obviously, it would take wind a considerably longer period of time to wear down an inch of granite as it would water. On the order of millions of times.
