WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR WATER?
Start with the problem. We'll find the solution.
Don't guess what your water needs. Tell us what you're experiencing — smell, staining, pressure, taste — and GOA will diagnose the cause and recommend the right fix.
ROTTEN EGG SMELL FROM YOUR WATER
That sulfur odor comes from hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in your well water. It's a common problem in Southwest Florida and it won't go away on its own.
Hydrogen sulfide is naturally occurring in some groundwater. It can also be produced by sulfur-reducing bacteria in your well or treatment equipment. The smell is strongest when you first run the water or when hot water is used.
Common Solutions
Aeration Treatment
Aeration systems expose the water to air, allowing hydrogen sulfide gas to escape before it reaches your taps.
Oxidation Filtration
Oxidizing filter media converts dissolved sulfur into a filterable form and removes it from the water.
System Inspection
If the smell is new or has gotten worse, your well or treatment equipment may need inspection.
ORANGE & BROWN STAINS FROM YOUR WATER
Iron in your well water leaves orange and brown stains on sinks, toilets, tubs, laundry, and appliances. It can also cause a metallic taste.
Dissolved iron in groundwater is extremely common in Southwest Florida. When iron-rich water contacts air or surfaces, it oxidizes and leaves those characteristic rust-colored stains.
Common Solutions
Iron Filtration
Iron filters remove dissolved and particulate iron before it reaches your fixtures and appliances.
Water Softener
Some water softeners address low levels of iron in addition to hardness — GOA will test your water to determine the right approach.
Combination Treatment
High iron levels often require a dedicated iron filter in combination with other treatment equipment.
HARD WATER, SCALE & SOAP PROBLEMS
Hard water leaves white scale deposits on fixtures, water heaters, and appliances. It reduces soap lathering, leaves spots on dishes and glass, and can cause dry skin and hair.
Hard water contains dissolved calcium and magnesium minerals. Southwest Florida groundwater is naturally high in hardness. Over time, scale buildup reduces the efficiency and lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, and plumbing.
Common Solutions
Water Softener
A properly sized water softener reduces hardness minerals through ion exchange, helping with scale and soap performance.
Water Conditioner
Alternative conditioning approaches may be appropriate depending on your water and preferences.
BAD TASTE OR ODOR FROM YOUR TAP
Unpleasant taste or odor from your water makes drinking from the tap unenjoyable and can affect cooking, coffee, and ice.
Taste and odor issues can come from chlorine in municipal water, hydrogen sulfide in well water, iron, organic compounds, or aging treatment equipment that needs service.
Common Solutions
Carbon Filtration
Activated carbon removes chlorine, chloramines, and many organic compounds that cause taste and odor issues.
Under-Sink RO
A reverse osmosis system at your kitchen sink delivers great-tasting drinking water — provided & installed for $999.
Water Diagnostic
GOA tests your water to identify the specific cause before recommending a solution.
SEDIMENT, GRIT & CLOUDY WATER
Gritty, cloudy, or discolored water from your well indicates sediment in your water supply — which can damage fixtures, appliances, and treatment equipment.
Sediment can enter your well from the surrounding soil, from a deteriorating well casing, or from disturbance of the water table. It can also indicate that your existing filtration equipment needs service.
Common Solutions
Sediment Filtration
Sediment filters remove particles from your water supply, protecting downstream equipment and improving water clarity.
System Inspection
Sudden sediment issues may indicate a problem with your well casing or pump — GOA will inspect the system.
LOW PRESSURE, PUMP CYCLING & WEAK FLOW
Weak water pressure, pump short-cycling, or pressure that drops when multiple fixtures are running are signs your well system needs attention.
Low pressure can be caused by a failing pump, a waterlogged pressure tank, a clogged filter, a pressure switch issue, or a drop in the water table. GOA diagnoses the cause before recommending a repair.
Common Solutions
Pressure Tank Service
A waterlogged or failed pressure tank is one of the most common causes of pump cycling and pressure problems.
Pump Inspection & Repair
GOA inspects your pump for wear, capacity issues, and electrical problems.
System Diagnostic
A full system diagnostic identifies the root cause of pressure problems before any work is recommended.
