South Florida Well Water Problems We Solve

• Iron & Manganese — Causes orange/brown staining on fixtures and laundry. Greensand or air injection filters remove iron effectively.
• Hydrogen Sulfide — Rotten egg smell from sulfur bacteria. Aeration and oxidation eliminate odor completely.
• Bacteria & Pathogens — UV sterilization destroys 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and cysts without chemicals.
• pH Imbalance — Acidic well water corrodes copper pipes. Calcite neutralizer filters raise pH to safe levels.
• Hardness & TDS — High mineral content from limestone aquifer addressed by water softeners and RO.
