Water softeners and water treatment in Alachua County

From Gainesville city water to wells out past Archer and Waldo, Alachua County water is hard almost everywhere and often carries iron or sulfur on private wells. We test at your sink, show you the numbers, and fix what's actually there.

Systems Alachua homes usually need

Your test decides. These are the three we install most here.
Bluejay Well Water Dual Tank system with brine tank

Well Water Dual Tank

Made for iron, sulfur and that rotten-egg smell.

Well water is a different job than city water. The first tank oxidizes and traps iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide, the cause of the smell, the orange stains and the metallic taste. The second tank softens what's left. Each tank has its own control valve.

Best for: Homes on a private well

Bluejay Standard Whole-Home Softener + Filtration system with brine tank
Top pick for city water

Standard Whole-Home Softener + Filtration

36,000 grains. Softening and chlorine filtration in a single tank.

Takes care of the two problems most city-water homes around Gainesville and Lake City have: hard water that scales up your pipes and water heater, and chlorine you can taste in your coffee and feel on your skin and hair. One tank, one control valve, one clean install.

Best for: Most 3 to 4 bedroom homes on city water

Details and specsfor Standard Whole-Home Softener + Filtration
Bluejay Tankless RO system
Top pick for drinking water

Tankless RO

800 gallons a day, 7 stages, and no storage tank under your sink.

Compact tankless reverse osmosis with seven stages of filtration and built-in alkaline remineralization. It works to remove heavy metals, chlorine and dissolved solids, and it adds beneficial minerals back in. The coconut-carbon filter gives you a smoother, fresher taste. Its 2:1 drain ratio wastes far less water than a standard RO, and with no storage tank it frees up space under your sink.

Best for: Anyone who wants cleaner water for drinking and cooking

Questions

Water in Alachua County

Do you cover all of Alachua County?

We cover the towns listed on this page and the rural areas between them. If you're near the county line, call or send the form and we'll tell you straight whether we can get to you.

How soon can you come out?

We'll call you within one business day of your request to set a time that works for you. Test visits take about 20 minutes, so we can often fit one in around your schedule.

Is the test really free?

Yes. No charge and no obligation. You get your numbers written down either way, and if your water doesn't need a system, we'll say so.

Do you handle rural wells?

Most of what we do is rural wells. Iron, sulfur and hardness together are the most common thing we see on private wells, and our dual-tank system is built for exactly that.

Test first. Fix it right.
