Expert Private Well Water Systems & Services

The cost to put in a well water treatment system varies based on water test results, flow rate, household size, and contaminants present. A simple sediment or carbon filter costs less than a full whole-house system with softening, UV disinfection, and reverse osmosis. Aqua General starts with free on-site water analysis so recommendations are based on your actual well water conditions.

A private well can often last several decades, but components such as treatment equipment, pressure tanks, filters, media, and UV lamps need regular maintenance or replacement. Water chemistry also changes over time, especially after flooding, drought, construction, or pump work. Routine testing and scheduled service help protect system performance, water quality, plumbing, and appliances.

Private well water should be tested at least annually for bacteria, nitrates, and basic chemistry, and more often if you notice taste, odor, staining, cloudiness, or pressure changes. Testing is also wise after flooding, nearby construction, pump repairs, or changes in household health. Aqua General provides free water analysis to identify practical treatment options.

Common private well issues include hardness, iron staining, sulfur odors, sediment, low pH, bacteria, metals, and unpleasant taste. Some contaminants are visible or noticeable, while others require testing to identify. Aqua General designs treatment around the full picture, including softening, filtration, UV purification, reverse osmosis, and custom solutions for specific well conditions.

Yes. UV germicidal purification is commonly used to address bacteria, viruses, and other microbes in water when properly sized and installed. UV systems do not remove sediment or minerals, so pre-filtration is usually important for reliable performance. Aqua General can combine UV with filtration, softening, and maintenance to support safer private well water.

Whole-house filtration treats water as it enters the property, helping protect plumbing, fixtures, appliances, laundry, bathing water, and general use. Reverse osmosis is typically installed at a drinking water tap and targets a wide range of dissolved contaminants for drinking and cooking. Many private well properties benefit from both approaches working together.

Aqua General services, repairs, and maintains a wide range of water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, UV systems, carbon filters, sediment filters, and commercial equipment. The team maintains replacement parts for routine servicing and works with many brands, including AquaGuard, Pentair, Fleck, Clack, Autotrol, 3M, Watts, GE, and others.

Yes. Aqua General serves residential, commercial, and industrial customers across the Greater Houston metropolitan area, including Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Montgomery, and additional partial county coverage. Service availability depends on your exact location and project type, but the team routinely travels to properties for testing, installation, repair, and maintenance.
