If you’re planning to build a new house and want to use a water well for your supply instead of city services, you first need to plan how you will treat your water. Well water should be regularly tested to ensure it is free from E. coli and other harmful contaminants. One step you can take to help ensure water safety is to install a whole-house filter and softening well water system in Pflugerville.
Here is why you need a well water system if your home water supply depends on a well.
A well water system helps sterilize the water.
To help eliminate 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, a UV light sterilizer can be part of your well water system. Kinetico’s UV Light Sterilizer removes all traces of Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Giardia, and other microorganisms that can make you ill – without chemicals. This means it’s not exchanging one harmful contaminant for another. It is a safe, natural, and environmentally friendly process to make your water much safer to drink.

Arsenic is a natural chemical element found in rock and soil, and thus makes its way into groundwater. Using a filter to remove arsenic from well water is cost effective and and efficient. The Kinetico Arsenic Guard system can work on its own or in combination with other well water systems.
