Municipal water is pre-treated before it reaches your home. Well water is not. Whatever is in the soil and bedrock around your well comes straight to your tap, which means treatment has to start with your actual water report, not a template.
Iron stains sinks, toilets, and laundry orange or red. Elevated iron is common in St. Louis area wells. An iron filter sized to your well's flow and iron concentration removes it before it reaches any fixture.
Hydrogen sulfide produces a rotten-egg odor that makes water unpleasant to use anywhere in the house. Oxidizing filtration removes it without chemicals.
Private wells can be vulnerable to coliform and E. coli contamination, especially after heavy rain. UV disinfection is the chemical-free standard for eliminating bacteria in well water.
Well water is often harder than municipal supply because it has not been treated in any way. A softener removes calcium and magnesium before they reach your fixtures, pipes, and appliances.
Taste and odor compounds from organic matter in the soil are common in well water. Carbon filtration handles them before water reaches any tap.
A professional local installer designs and installs the system based on your water test results. You do not pay anything until the job is done and you are happy with it.
