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.
