Common well water problems we see
- Hardness: scale on fixtures, in water heaters, and in pressure tanks
- Iron: orange or rust-colored stains in sinks, tubs, toilets, and laundry
- Sediment: sand and grit that wear out valves and clog aerators
- Taste and odor: metallic or "off" tastes that make people reach for bottled water
Start with a test, not a guess
Every well is different, even between neighbors. Our free in-home water test measures hardness, iron, and pH on the spot, so the system we recommend matches what's actually coming out of your well.
How we treat well water
For many wells, our single-tank carbon and resin softener handles the hardness and can also remove low levels of dissolved iron. When the test shows higher iron or sediment, we'll tell you up front and recommend pre-filtration ahead of the softener so it isn't overloaded. Add a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink for drinking water.
A note on bacteria testing
Our on-site test covers hardness, iron, and pH. It isn't a bacteria test. If you haven't had your well checked for bacteria recently, we recommend a lab test, especially after flooding or well repairs. Your county health department can point you to an accredited lab.
