Meaning-Changing Adjectives

So I'm working through the list of meaning-changing adjectives found here...
http://www.spanishdict.com/topics/show/20
For "bueno," the following is listed:
simple/good (before the noun)
good/gentle/generous (after the noun)
If it means "good" both before and after the noun, how do I know the best place to use "bueno"?

It depends on what you want to say.
Un perro bueno. A dog that is good.
Un buen perro. A dog that is a better than most other dogs.
El agua buena. The water that is good. La buena agua. The good water!
Hay agua buena del tubo pero la buena agua es del pozo. There is drinkable tap water but the good water is from the well.
This is the way I understand it but I am still learning.
