Question 1

Why does my well water in Arcadia smell like rotten eggs?

Accepted Answer

The 'rotten egg' smell in Arcadia-area well water is caused by hydrogen sulfide gas. It's produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria in the Floridan Aquifer. While not typically dangerous at low levels, it makes water unpleasant. Our air injection oxidation systems eliminate sulfur smell without chemicals.

Question 2

Is Arcadia well water safe to drink without treatment?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend testing and treatment. Arcadia-area well water commonly contains bacteria, elevated iron, sulfur, extreme hardness, and potentially nitrates from agricultural runoff. Unlike city water, private wells have no treatment before reaching your tap. A proper treatment system makes well water safer than most city water.

Question 3

What does a complete well water system include for Arcadia homes?

Accepted Answer

A typical Arcadia well water system includes: (1) iron/sulfur removal via air injection or oxidation media, (2) water softener for the extreme hardness common in this area, (3) whole-house carbon filtration for taste/odor, and (4) UV sterilization for bacterial safety. The exact configuration depends on your water test results.
