Alachua, FL · Alachua County
Water source: City water in town. Private wells on the farms and acreage around it.
Acreage homes out here tend to call us about orange stains in the toilet, rust marks on the house from the sprinklers, and water that smells off. In town, it is mostly hardness and scale.
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

Ultraviolet treatment for bacteria, no chemicals.
An ultraviolet lamp treats water as it enters the house, so bacteria can not reproduce. Nothing is added to the water. UV needs clear, low-iron water ahead of it, so it is usually paired with the well system.
Best for: Private wells, or after a boil-water notice.
