Common Questions
How often should I test my well?
Coliform and nitrates annually at minimum. Also after any flooding near the wellhead, after pump work, after moving into a new property, or if taste, odor, or appearance changes.
My water has a sulfur smell — what does that mean?
Hydrogen sulfide gas — common in some Eastern WA aquifers, more nuisance than health hazard at typical levels. An oxidizing filter with the right media resolves it after testing confirms the cause.
My water leaves iron stains — what do I do?
Dissolved iron in your well water — very common in deeper Eastern WA wells. An iron filtration system or water softener (for lower concentrations under 3–5 ppm) resolves the staining. Test first to size the treatment correctly.
