Well Water Treatment
and Solutions
Protecting Your Home and Health
Owning a home with well water offers independence, but it also comes with a critical responsibility—ensuring that your water is safe and clean. Unlike municipal water, which is regularly treated and tested, well water can contain a wide range of contaminants that can affect the health of your family, the longevity of your appliances, and even the taste of your water. As your trusted local water experts, we offer comprehensive well water testing and advanced treatment solutions to protect your home and health.

Why Do I Need a Well Water Test?
Every well is unique, and while your water may look clear, it could harbor contaminants that are invisible to the naked eye. Some common well water issues include:
- Hard Water: High levels of calcium and magnesium can cause scale buildup in your pipes and appliances, reducing their efficiency and lifespan.
- Iron & Manganese: These minerals can leave rust stains on your fixtures, discolor your laundry, and give water a metallic taste.
- Bacteria & Viruses: Harmful microorganisms, such as E. coli and coliform bacteria, can seep into your well from the surrounding soil, posing serious health risks.
- Nitrates & Pesticides: If you live near agricultural areas, fertilizers and pesticides can leach into your well water, potentially causing health issues over time.
- Sulfur: This naturally occurring contaminant can leave your water with an unpleasant “rotten egg” odor.
Even if your water tastes fine, regular testing is the only way to be sure that it’s free from harmful contaminants.
How We Help:
Our highly trained water specialists will conduct an on-site water test that checks for:
- Hardness levels (calcium and magnesium)
- Iron and manganese levels
- pH
- Total dissolved solids (TDS)
We also offer more advanced lab tests to identify bacteria, nitrates, and other dangerous chemicals. With this thorough analysis, you’ll have a clear picture of what’s in your water and what treatment options are needed to ensure it’s safe for you and your family.

Common well water contaminants
What it is – hard water contains calcium and magnesium minerals which bond with everything they touch leaving “limescale” in their wake.
Treatment – Our guaranteed water softener provides the best option for soft water on the market. It improves the water throughout your entire home while protecting your appliances and fixtures.
What it is – Iron can come in a couple different forms including dissolved and non-dissolved. Both of which can leave red/orange stains on your sinks, tubs, and toilets and can be extremely hard to remove. Iron can also cause bacteria to grow and let off an unpleasant smell.
What it is – dirt & sediment is just as it sounds. This is typically most common in well water or surface water that hasn’t gone through a treatment facility.
Treatment – Dirt and sediment are found in almost all water supplies and will decrease the efficiency and lifespan of your appliances. For example, sediment in a water heater can prevent the heat from transferring to the water in the tank once sediment has built up in the bottom. Our whole house filtration system can help with this problem.
There are typically two water contaminants that can cause your water to smell like sulphur or rotten eggs, one is Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and the other is iron or sulphates.
H2S is a mineral that is released from the earth and finds its way into groundwater. It’s especially common in well water located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil.
Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be caused by a water heater or by sewage pollution in your water. If you’re on city water, the most likely explanation is your water heater.
The most important thing to note is that it is ALWAYS worthwhile to get your water tested as H2S poses a serious potential health risk including nausea, vomiting, and other serious health effects.
Water in our area has frequently been positive for lead, cysts, and PFOA/PFOS. These chemicals have been found to exceed the levels set forth by health advisory organizations and may cause health problems.
The chemicals Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also known as C8, and Perfluorooctane Sulfonic acid (PFOS) are bio-permanent, resistant to direct oxidation, and do not break down naturally in the environment or the human body. Studies suggest that exposure to these chemicals may lead to cancer.

A new study by the Environmental Working Group reports that local drinking water contains hexavalent chromium, a toxic metal that has been linked to cancer. While the Environmental Protection Agency does not require the testing for the metal, the survey found that levels in our local water were pushing the levels proposed as a safety limit by authorities. This contaminant has been proven to cause cancer.
Arsenic is a common water issue in Clarksville, however, it can be easily and affordably removed with an under-sink filter from Pure Southern Water.
According to the CDC, “Arsenic can enter the water supply from natural deposits in the earth or from industrial and agricultural pollution. It is widely believed that naturally occurring arsenic dissolves out of certain rock formations when ground water levels drop significantly. Some industries in the United States release thousands of pounds of arsenic into the environment every year. Once released, arsenic remains in the environment for a long time. Arsenic is removed from the air by rain, snow, and gradual settling. Once on the ground or in surface water, arsenic can slowly enter groundwater. High arsenic levels in private wells may come from certain arsenic-containing fertilizers used in the past or industrial waste. It may also indicate improper well construction or overuse of chemical fertilizers or herbicides in the past.”
What they are – common contaminants in our area can include nitrates, lead, arsenic, pharmaceuticals, and more. These are not included in the free water test, however, we do offer full laboratory testing at an affordable price.
