Common Well Water Contaminants
Hardness Scaling
Hard water contains high levels of dissolved calcium and magnesium, which cause problems like mineral buildup, soap scum, and reduced appliance efficiency.
Hardness Removal Process:
Ion Exchange:
A water softener contains a tank filled with resin beads that are coated with sodium ions.

Hard water contains high levels of dissolved calcium and magnesium, which cause problems like mineral buildup, soap scum, and reduced appliance efficiency.
Hardness Removal Process:
Ion Exchange:
A water softener contains a tank filled with resin beads that are coated with sodium ions.
As hard water flows through the resin tank, the calcium and magnesium ions in the water are attracted to the resin beads and are exchanged for the sodium ions.
This process effectively removes the minerals that cause hardness, resulting in softened water.
Iron deposit
Iron deposits in well water, often appearing as rusty or brown stains caused by iron-bearing rocks and minerals dissolving in groundwater. Iron can be a more complicated contaminant compared to hardness to remove.
Types of Iron in Well Water:
Ferrous Iron: Dissolved iron that appears clear in water but becomes reddish-brown when exposed to
Iron deposits in well water, often appearing as rusty or brown stains caused by iron-bearing rocks and minerals dissolving in groundwater. Iron can be a more complicated contaminant compared to hardness to remove.
Types of Iron in Well Water:
Ferrous Iron: Dissolved iron that appears clear in water but becomes reddish-brown when exposed to oxygen.
Ferric Iron: Iron that has been oxidized and appears as rust or sediment.
Bacterial Iron: Iron that is combined with iron bacteria, forming a red or brown slime.
Removal of Iron from Well Water:
Water Softeners: Standard water softeners can help remove dissolved ferrous iron but may not be effective for ferric iron or bacterial iron.
Iron Filters: Iron filters are designed to remove both dissolved and particulate iron.
Aeration: Aerating the water can oxidize ferrous iron, making it easier to filter out.
Chlorination: Shock chlorination can kill iron bacteria but may not remove the iron deposits they produce.
Reverse Osmosis (RO): RO systems can remove iron but may not be suitable for high iron levels.
Common Well Water Contaminants
Acidic Water
Hazardous minerals
Acidic Water
Acidic water has a pH below 6.5, while neutral water has a pH of 7 and alkaline water has a pH above 7. Problems typiccally start to occur at a pH of 6.8 and lower.
Problems with Acidic Water:
Corrosion: Acidic water can corrode metal pipes and plumbing, leading to leaks and damage.

Acidic water has a pH below 6.5, while neutral water has a pH of 7 and alkaline water has a pH above 7. Problems typiccally start to occur at a pH of 6.8 and lower.
Problems with Acidic Water:
Corrosion: Acidic water can corrode metal pipes and plumbing, leading to leaks and damage.
Taste and Odor: It can cause a bitter, metallic taste and odor in the water.
Metal Leaching: Acidic water can leach metals from pipes and wells, including lead, copper, iron, and manganese, which can be harmful in high concentrations.
Solutions for Acidic Well Water:
Neutralizing Filters: Using a water treatment system with a neutralizing filter can help raise the pH of the water.
Acid Neutralizers: These devices can be installed to neutralize the acidity of the water.
Water Aeration: Introducing air into the water can help raise the pH by increasing the amount of hydroxide ions.
Ion Exchange Treatment: This process can remove minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can help raise the pH.
Manganese
Hazardous minerals
Acidic Water
Manganese in well water, a naturally occurring element, can pose aesthetic and potential health concerns, especially at higher concentrations, leading to staining, taste issues, and neurological effects. Treatment of Manganese:
Oxidation and Filtration: This process involves oxidizing manganese into a form that can be filtered out.

Hazardous minerals in well water include heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and cadmium, which can cause serious health problems if ingested. It's crucial to test well water regularly for contaminants, especially if you live in an area with known contamination issues. You can't always taste, see, or smell contaminants in water, so testing is essential to ensure water safety.
Removal process of hazardous materials:
Reverse Osmosis water filtration has proven to be unrivaled when it comes to removing impurities from water in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Because Reverse Osmosis can effectively remove a wide range of impurities (such as asbestos, PFOS, sulfates, cadmium, chlorine and lead)
Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at Dvsofteners@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
A whole-house water filtration system filters water at the main water line, providing filtered water to every faucet, shower, and appliance in your home, addressing contaminants like hardness, iron, sulfur, sediment, and other impurities. This includes water softeners, iron removal systems, chlorine removal filters and more. Whole house filtration can me single or multistage systems.
