So you’re thinking about getting a water well for the home, and you’re not sure what to expect. From unexpected smells to contamination, today, The Well Dr. is breaking down four things for you to consider before you decide to make the switch to a water well.

Well Water Usually Means Hard Water

The one thing you probably know is that well water is sourced directly from the ground, which means that the water is pulled through all kinds of minerals on its way to your sink. Calcium and magnesium are some of those minerals, and they are the reason water becomes hard. A water softener will have to be used with authority to get all that water soft again! Good thing The Well Dr. has what you need to get your water feeling great again.

Strong Smell? That’s Because It Came From A Well

Like the smell of rotten eggs? Better get used to it! Most homes that have a water well report higher amounts of sulphur in the water, which gives the water that smell of eggs gone bad. With a well treatment from The Well Dr., your water will be smelling more like water again and less like yesterday’s breakfast.

Contamination Can Happen

Although well water is some of the cleanest water you can get, it can become contaminated with naturally occurring uranium, arsenic, and radon in some cases. It’s never safe to “guess” when it comes to your drinking water. The Well Dr. knows that water well system maintenance is essential, and our water treatment plans are comprehensive.
