Common well water problems in Northeast Florida

Many homes in rural St. Johns and Flagler counties (Hastings, Elkton, Flagler Estates, Bunnell and the surrounding areas) rely on private wells. Florida well water commonly has hydrogen sulfide (the rotten-egg smell), iron that stains fixtures orange, and hardness.

Because every well is different, we start with testing. Treating the wrong problem wastes money. For example, a softener alone won’t fix a strong sulfur smell. We recommend testing a private well for bacteria periodically as well. Your county health department can advise on lab testing.

Signs your well water needs treatment

Rotten-egg smell

Hydrogen sulfide, often stronger in hot water.

Orange or brown stains

Iron in the water stains toilets, sinks, laundry and driveways.

Black specks or slime

Can indicate manganese or iron bacteria.

Scale and spots

Hardness, just like city water but often stronger.

Treatment options we install

Often combined in stages:

Sediment filtration

Protects all downstream equipment from sand and grit.

Sulfur & iron

Oxidizing filter / aeration system

Removes hydrogen sulfide and iron so the smell and stains are gone.

Water softener

Handles hardness after iron and sulfur are removed.

UV disinfection

Treats bacteria without chemicals, a common add-on for private wells.

Well Water Treatment FAQ

Why does my well water smell like rotten eggs?

That’s usually hydrogen sulfide gas, very common in Florida wells. It can also come from a reaction inside the water heater, which is often fixed by changing the anode rod.

Will a water softener fix iron stains?

A softener can handle small amounts of iron, but higher levels need a dedicated iron filter first.

Is my well water safe to drink?

Treatment improves taste, smell and staining, but safety requires lab testing for bacteria and contaminants. Your county health department can help with testing.

Do you service existing well treatment systems?

Yes. We repair and re-media existing filters and softeners.
