Advanced Well Water Filtration Systems

Well water often contains minerals, bacteria, heavy metals, and other contaminants that can affect your water supply’s quality and safety. Born and raised in rural areas ourselves, we understand the unique challenges of a private well water supply.

At Aquanology, we offer custom-designed well water filtration systems for your specific scenario. We can collaborate with you and come up with a comprehensive plan for removing contaminants such as odors, sediment, and harmful substances, and deliver clean, filtered water to every tap in your home. When choosing a water filtration system, accurate testing and proper sizing are essential.

Common Signs You Need Well Water Filtration

  • Rotten egg smell (hydrogen sulfide). These offensive smells, commonly known as “sulfur water,” are caused by naturally occurring sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRBs) in underground aquifers.
  • Sediments in your water or a cloudy appearance are often derived from natural clay or sand found underground.
  • Rust stains on sinks, tubs, or laundry are often caused by iron, a natural metal element that is common in groundwater sources.
  • Foul or metallic taste in drinking water can have various causes, often best determined by testing. Elevated TDS can contribute to bad taste, while metallic tastes often come from iron or manganese.
  • Chalky mineral buildup on fixtures and appliances is a common issue from well water, because of the minerals calcium and magnesium, also known as hardness.
  • Skin or hair irritation after showering is often a side effect of hard water minerals in water.
  • Recent water tests show contaminants or hardness

We had a water softener installed by Aquanology. This is a family business. They were very patient with all our questions and answered them thoroughly. Matthew did the install - he was always very prompt and professional. He took the time to show us what we needed to do to ensure everything will continue to work smoothly. The pricing was very reasonable and offered great value for the quality of service/product provided. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable it was without compromising on quality. We highly recommend this company!

Matthew helped up troubleshoot a tricky issue regarding lead coming from only one of the sinks in our house. He helped us understand what was likely happening, and presented several options for addressing the issue. We are in good shape now after deciding on the option that made the most sense for us. We would not hesitate to use Aquanology again.

We just had a full home RO system installed and Aquanology was great to deal with. They have competitive prices and were very responsive to all of our questions and concerns. They explained everything in detail prior to installation and only needed one day to get the system hooked up and ready to go. It was set up neatly and they labeled everything with notes and instructions to make it easier for us. We were very happy with the service received and are glad they have a location so close to our home (Fort Plain).

Types of Well Water Filtration Systems

With well water filtration solutions, one size definitely does not fit all, and we get that. That’s why we offer various house water filter system configurations to tackle various water issues and requests. Below are some common options:

  • Sediment filters: Remove dirt, silt, and debris
  • Activated carbon filters: Reduce chlorine, odors, and organic compounds
  • Catalytic filtration medias: Target iron, manganese, and sulfur
  • UV disinfection: Guard against bacteria and viruses 
  • Water softeners: Remove troublesome water hardness minerals
  • Salt-free water conditioner systems: Reduce scale buildup without salt
  • Reverse osmosis drinking water systems: High-purity water for drinking and cooking
  • Whole-house reverse osmosis: Address extreme well water with high TDS
  • Combination systems: Customized to your specific water issues

Benefits of Well Water Filtration Systems

When weighing whether or not to invest in a home improvement project, it’s important to understand the advantages. Here are seven tips to consider concerning the value-added benefits you can expect from a well water filtration system:

Hardness minerals left behind after bathing can be harsh on hair and skin, especially to those with sensitivities. Addressing this issue often results in less need to purchase expensive creams and lotions.

Hydrogen sulfide is notorious for its potent “rotten egg” smell that can permeate everything. A filtration system to remove this results in clean, fresh water that makes you feel clean after showering.

Rid your home of unnecessary repair costs. Removing water hardness results in less maintenance of plumbing, fixtures, and faucets.

Iron and other mineral stains on sinks and toilet bowls make cleaning a daunting task. With proper filtration, cleaning becomes a breeze. On top of that, soft water makes soaps and cleaners more effective, allowing you to use less, save more, and still get the job done better than ever.

Yes, various studies have proven that water softeners, by reducing hardness scale buildup, can improve water heaters’ efficiency, and extend the lifespan of water heaters and other water using appliances.

Health related contaminants like lead, arsenic, nitrates, heavy metals, and bacteria, can have negative impacts on your loved ones, especially infants, young children, or those with compromised immune systems. Investing in a water system is also an investment in health and peace of mind.

Do away with the expense of bottled water by installing your own bottled water machine in-home, a reverse osmosis drinking water system. That’s right, most common bottled water brands are purified by reverse osmosis.

Schedule Your Well Water Test and Consultation

Don’t guess what’s in your well water, know for sure by getting a water test.

In addition, we can provide recommended solutions for odors and sulfur smells, sand, dirt, and sediment, iron or manganese, hardness and mineral scaling, bacteria, nitrates, and drinking water quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Since some contaminants are tasteless and odorless and are therefore hard to detect, Aquanology recommends testing water for common contaminants, using either a laboratory or onsite test kit.

Whole home filters, also called point-of-entry (POE) filters, are designed to improve the water quality for the entire home. Often whole-home systems are designed to reduce stain-causing contaminants like iron and hardness, or disinfect the water from bacteria. Drinking water filters, also called point-of-use (POU) filters, simply filter water for a dedicated faucet or two, such as the kitchen sink or refrigerator, where drinking water is obtained. Drinking water systems are designed to provide an extra level of filtration that may not be necessary for the whole house.

Whether or not you need a whole home system, a reverse osmosis drinking water system, or both, depends largely upon your water quality and your expectations. Certain contaminants are only removed with reverse osmosis and the whole house system will not reduce them, therefore making the drinking water system more necessary in some cases.

Installation time can vary greatly, depending on the size of the system being installed, as well as installation site requirements. For example, a simple drinking water reverse osmosis system can be installed under a kitchen sink about two hours average, but a whole house system can take 6 hours or more.

Filter replacement frequency will vary based on the amount of water that is being used, as well as how poor the feedwater quality is. Terrible quality feedwater and higher water usage will necessitate filter changes more often.
