Why does my well water smell like rotten eggs?
That's hydrogen sulfide gas, common in Florida well water. The right oxidation-and-filtration system removes it at the source.

Iron & Sulfur Removal: common questions
Will it stop the rust stains?
Yes. Removing the iron stops new staining. We'll size the system to your specific iron and sulfur levels.
Do I need a softener too?
Often, yes — iron/sulfur removal and softening address different issues. Your free test tells us what your water actually needs.
Why does only my hot water smell like rotten eggs?
That usually points to hydrogen sulfide reacting inside the water heater rather than the whole supply. We test for the source during your free visit and recommend whether treating the water, servicing the heater, or both is the right fix.
Will this remove the orange stains already in my toilet and tub?
Removing the iron stops new staining right away. Existing stains need to be cleaned off once, but with the iron gone they won't come back.
