Well Water Treatment Options

Well water filtration systems are ideal treatment options for home owners with private well water that may be contaminated with heavy metals and other harmful chemicals.  Well water owners can test their drinking water by hiring a water testing laboratory or by self-testing with a portable or handy SenSafe Test Kit. Well water users can obtain a list of testing labs from their local health departments or the state environmental health agencies for a list of certified labs. Well water can be filtered as it enters the house (point-of-entry) for a full house treatment, or at the tap, refrigerator, or showerhead (point-of-use)

Here are some of the best whole house well water treatment options on the market:

The Aquasana EQ-300-85 Whole House Well Water Filter
This well water treatment option is an upgraded version of the very popular point-of-entry Aquasana Rhino EQ-300 Whole House filter. The version is specifically designed for well water filtering in mind. It performs the same functions as the Rhino EQ-300, but in addition, it effectively performs well water treatment.

The EQ-300-85 uses KDF 85 medium to remove higher concentrations of iron and hydrogen sulfide that come from well water sources. It is also effective in controlling the build-up of scale in pipes, and also in controlling bacteria and algae in your water. The main filter needs replacement every 3 years while the pre-filter needs to be replaced once every 1 – 3 months.

Tap Master Iron® Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Filtration System
Tap Master Iron RO is an excellent well water treatment option that can remove up to 98% of iron, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, chemicals, heavy metals, solids, and other contaminants from your well or municipal water source. The RO consist of advanced redox media alloys that act as catalysts to change soluble ferrous cations (clear, dissolved iron) into insoluble ferric hydroxide, which is then trapped in the iron filter’s sediment filter layer.  Great to check out!
