Well water treatment in Manatee & Sarasota County
Every well is different, so we don't sell a shelf package. We test your well water at your home first, free, then build a system from the results and give you one flat price in writing. If your well only needs one thing fixed, that's all we quote.

What it fixes.
Florida wells draw from limestone aquifers, and what comes up varies from one street to the next. These are the problems we see most around Parrish, Myakka City and east county.
- Orange and brown stainsIron leaves stains in sinks, toilets and laundry above 0.3 ppm. See our orange stains guide.
- Rotten-egg smellHydrogen sulfide gas, common in Florida wells. See our rotten-egg smell guide.
- Hard waterWells are often harder than city water, with heavier crust and spots.
- BacteriaIf a lab test finds it, ultraviolet (UV) treatment kills it as water passes a UV lamp, with no chemicals added.
- Sand and gritA spin-down pre-filter catches it before it reaches anything else. $000.

- SaltIf your system includes a softener, top it up every 4 to 6 weeks.

Well water questions.
Why can't you give me a price up front?
Because two wells a mile apart can need completely different equipment. The free test tells us what yours needs, and then the price goes in writing.
What does the free test cover?
Hardness, iron, sulfur (the rotten-egg smell), pH, dissolved solids and chlorine. Bacteria and nitrate need a state-certified lab, and we'll point you to one.
Will a water softener remove iron?
Small amounts. Iron fouls a softener over time, so for higher levels a dedicated iron filter ahead of the softener is the better fit.
Why does only my hot water smell?
Often it's the water heater's anode rod reacting with sulfate. A different anode plus treating the water upstream usually fixes it.
Is my well water safe to drink?
Only a lab test can say. Florida health officials recommend testing private wells for bacteria and nitrate at least once a year, and any time the taste, smell or color changes.
Do you drill or repair wells or pumps?
No. We treat the water after it leaves your well. For the well or pump itself, call a licensed well contractor.
How long does install take?
Most well systems go in within a day once the quote is approved.
Start with a free test. Then one flat price, in writing.
Book the test and we'll come to you. No pressure, and if your well only needs one thing, that's all we quote.
