Iron Filtration
Treatment aimed at the iron responsible for orange and brown staining and metallic taste.
Private wells
Well Water Treatment
Well water can present challenges that city water does not, including iron staining, sulfur odor, sediment and hardness. Treatment is built around what your specific well is producing.
How it works
How Well Water Treatment Works
There is no single well water system. Two properties on the same road can need different equipment, because treatment depends on what is in the water and how the well and pump are set up.
A typical approach uses stages. Sediment is removed first, then iron and sulfur are addressed through oxidation and filtration, or through chlorination and chemical injection with a retention tank. Hardness is handled by a softener after those stages, and drinking water can be polished further with reverse osmosis.
Because well water can change over time, systems are set up so they can be monitored, serviced and adjusted rather than installed and forgotten.

Common signs
Common Well Water Concerns
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth taking a closer look at your water.
Rotten egg or sulfur smell from the taps
Orange, red or brown staining in sinks and toilets
Sediment, sand or grit in the water
Cloudy water that clears as it sits
Metallic taste in drinking water
Black specks or discoloration in laundry
Scale buildup on fixtures and in the water heater
Water quality that changes after heavy rain
Your options
Well Treatment Options We Can Discuss
Your configuration is chosen around the well itself, the concerns you are experiencing and how the property uses water.
Sulfur Treatment
Systems that address the rotten egg odor associated with hydrogen sulfide in well water.
Chlorination & Chemical Injection
Injection systems with retention for wells where oxidation and disinfection are the appropriate approach.
Sediment Filtration
Pre-filtration that removes sand, silt and grit before it reaches downstream equipment.
Softening for Wells
Hardness treatment installed after iron and sulfur stages so the softener is protected.
UV Treatment
Ultraviolet treatment as part of a multi-stage well system where appropriate.
Treatment stages
Common Well-Water Equipment
Chemical Injection & Retention
A metering pump and contact tank give chlorine time to work on bacteria, iron and sulfur before filtration.
Iron & Sulfur Filtration
A dedicated filter tank targets the staining and rotten-egg odor common in Florida wells.
