Well Water

Private well water system in a basement with a pressure tank, sediment filter housing and iron filter tank

About private wells: the EPA's drinking water rules don't apply to them, so owners are responsible for testing and treatment. The CDC recommends testing at least once a year for total coliform bacteria, nitrates, total dissolved solids, and pH.

Our well water guides help you understand test results and choose the right treatment, whether that's sediment filtration, iron and sulfur removal, UV disinfection, or softening.
