"Get Safe, Clean Drinking Water from Your Well"
OUR PHILOSOPHY
To give you the safest and most pure water possible
Is Your Well Water Letting You Down?
Tired of surprises in your tap? Well water can be fantastic, but it can also bring unwanted guests like iron, manganese, and that rotten egg smell! Is your well water:
- Stained and cloudy? (Iron, manganese, or turbidity)
- Leaving white buildup? (Limescale)
- Tasting metallic? (Iron or manganese)
- Smelling like rotten eggs? (Hydrogen sulfide)
- Unclear or discolored? (Turbidity, color)
- Not quite "right"? (pH imbalance)

Hard Water Blues? Limescale Could Be the Culprit!
Is your well water leaving a white, chalky residue on your faucets and kettles? Are your dishes coming out cloudy after washing? You might be battling limescale, a common enemy of well water users.
What is limescale?
Limescale, also known as calcium carbonate buildup, is a mineral deposit caused by hard water. As water travels through rocks and soil, it picks up minerals like calcium and magnesium. When this hard water heats up or evaporates, these minerals leave behind a white, crusty residue.
Ultra Violet Disifection
Bacteria in Well Water:Your well water can naturally harbor bacteria, some harmful, like E. coli, which can cause stomach illness.
How UV Disinfection Works: UV disinfection systems use ultraviolet light to zap these bacteria.The light disrupts their DNA, preventing them from reproducing and making them harmless.
Iron & Manganese Filters
Iron and manganese are naturally occurring minerals commonly found in well water. they can cause a nuisance and affect the quality of your water.
Effects of Iron and Manganese:
- Staining: Both iron and manganese can cause staining in your laundry, dishes, and plumbing fixtures. Iron stains are typically reddish-brown, while manganese stains are black or brownish-black.
- Metallic Taste: High levels of iron can impart an unpleasant metallic taste to your water.
- Discolored Water: Iron-rich water might appear clear initially but turn reddish-brown upon exposure to air.
- Clogged Pipes: Iron and manganese buildup can occur in pipes and water heaters, reducing water pressure and efficiency.
Ph Correction Units
- Understanding PH in Well Water: The Importance of Not Going Too Low.
The pH level of your well water indicates its acidity or alkalinity. It's measured on a scale of 0-14, with 7 being neutral. Well water can have a varying pH depending on the geology of your area. Here's what you need to know about low pH and its effects:
What is Low pH?
Well water with a pH below 6.5 is considered acidic.
Effects of Low pH Well Water:
- Corrosion: Acidic water can corrode metal pipes and fixtures in your home, leading to leaks and potential contamination with heavy metals like copper or lead.
- Metallic Taste: Low pH water can have a sour or metallic taste.
- Blue-Green Staining: Copper pipes are particularly susceptible to corrosion from acidic water, which can cause blue-green stains on sinks and fixtures.
- Appliance Damage: Acidic water can reduce the lifespan of appliances like water heaters.
Hyrdogen Sulphide/Chlorine Filters
Does your well water have a rotten egg smell? Tired of that unpleasant surprise every time you turn on the tap? You're not alone! Many people with well water experience this issue caused by hydrogen sulfide gas.
The good news is there's a simple solution: a high-quality carbon water filter unit. Here's why a carbon unit is your best bet:
Colour & Turbidity Filters
Colour and turbidity in water are two different ways water quality is measured, although they can be related. Here's a breakdown:
-
Colour: This refers to the hue of the water, caused by dissolved organic matter like decaying plants or industrial pollutants. It doesn't necessarily impact safety, but highly coloured water can be unappealing.
-
Turbidity: This describes the cloudiness or haziness of the water due to suspended particles like clay, silt, or algae. High turbidity can harbor bacteria and affect the effectiveness of disinfection treatments.

Question: My well water smells like rotten eggs. What's causing this, and how can I fix it?
This unpleasant odor is likely caused by hydrogen sulfide gas in your well water. It's a common occurrence and can be addressed with a well water treatment system. Carbon filters are very effective at trapping hydrogen sulfide, eliminating the rotten egg smell and taste
My well water is leaving white stains on everything. Is there something wrong with it?
Those white stains are likely caused by limescale, a mineral deposit from hard water. Hard water is rich in calcium and magnesium, which leave behind a chalky residue when the water evaporates. Water softeners are the most effective solution for preventing limescale buildup by removing these minerals from your well water.
My well water is cloudy and sometimes brown. Is it safe to drink?
Cloudy or discolored well water can be caused by several factors, including iron, manganese, or high turbidity (sediment). While not necessarily unsafe, it's not ideal for drinking. Water filtration systems can address these issues. An iron filter removes iron and manganese, while a sediment filter removes turbidity, leaving you with clear, clean water.
I'm not sure what treatment my well water needs. How can I find out?
The best way to determine the specific treatment needs for your well water is to have it tested , then contact us with the results, then we can recommend the most suitable treatment options based on your results. This ensures you get the right solution for your specific water quality issues.
