Address staining and rotten-egg odor

Iron and Sulfur Treatment for Florida Well Water

Oxidation and filtration targeted at the iron and hydrogen sulfide behind stains and smell.

The problem this addresses

Iron turns sinks, tubs, and laundry a rust color. Hydrogen sulfide produces the rotten-egg smell that makes showers and drinking water unpleasant. Carbon filters alone tend to knock the symptoms down briefly and then stop working.

How the solution works

  • We confirm which contaminant is present, and whether it appears in cold water, hot water, or both.
  • An oxidation step converts dissolved iron or sulfide into a filterable solid form.
  • A media bed captures the oxidized solids and backwashes them to drain automatically.
  • Sizing follows your measured concentration, which is what determines whether the fix holds.

When this service makes sense

  • · Orange or brown staining in sinks, toilets, or laundry
  • · A rotten-egg smell at one or more fixtures
  • · Filters that clog or lose effectiveness quickly
  • · Wells where a previous odor treatment stopped working

What you can expect

Reduced staining on fixtures and laundry
Noticeable reduction in sulfur odor
Automatic backwashing instead of frequent cartridge swaps
Downstream softeners and membranes protected from fouling

Water treatment addresses specific measured parameters. We do not make medical or health guarantees about treated water.

The installation and service process

  1. 1

    Locate the source

    Hot-water-only odor points somewhere different than whole-house odor.

  2. 2

    Measure concentration

    The number drives media choice and oxidation method.

  3. 3

    Install and program

    Backwash cycles set to your usage and load.

  4. 4

    Follow-up check

    We verify performance once the media bed has settled in.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the smell only show up in hot water?
That pattern usually points to a reaction inside the water heater rather than the well itself, and it is investigated differently.
Will a carbon filter fix sulfur odor?
Carbon alone typically loses capacity quickly against sulfide. Oxidation before filtration is what makes the result durable.
Can iron treatment go before a softener?
Yes, and it usually should. Removing iron first keeps it from fouling the softener resin.
