Well Water Problems

Well Water Problems

If you rely on a private well, chances are you’ve run into water quality issues at some point. 

From bad smells to low pressure, your water can bring along more than just what you expect from the tap. 

At PumpWell, we help Fraser Valley homeowners figure out what’s causing the problem and build the right solution based on what’s actually in the water.

What We See Most Often

We work with well systems every day, and these are the issues that come up the most:

Smelly Water

That rotten egg smell? It’s usually hydrogen sulphide gas, naturally occurring in groundwater.

Rust or Dark Stains

 Iron and manganese in your well water can leave reddish or black residue on sinks, tubs, and laundry.

Cloudy or Murky Water

Sediment, tannins, or high mineral content can make water look dirty even when it’s not harmful.

Bacteria and Contamination

Coliform bacteria and E. coli can get into wells after flooding or long periods without maintenance.

Pressure Issues

If your water is barely flowing or cutting in and out, it might be the well pump, pressure tank, or clogged filtration.

How We Diagnose the Problem

Before we recommend anything, we find out exactly what’s going on. That means we test, inspect, and ask the right questions about your system and your usage.

Water Testing

We check for minerals, gases, pH, bacteria, and more, either on-site or through a lab.

System Inspection

We look at your wellhead, pump, pressure tank, plumbing layout, and existing filters.

Chemistry Analysis

We take everything into account so your treatment system works together, not against itself.

How We Fix It

Once we know what’s in your water and what’s causing the issue, we can design the right setup for your home.

Sediment Filtration

Removes visible particles and reduces water cloudiness.

Carbon Filtration

Improves taste and removes odors like chlorine or hydrogen sulphide.

Oxidation and Aeration Systems

Handle more challenging problems like iron, manganese, and sulphur gas.

UV Disinfection

Kills bacteria without adding chemicals; perfect for homes outside city service.

Reverse Osmosis

Provides ultra-clean drinking water at your tap, removing dissolved solids and improving taste.

Pump and Pressure Solutions

If the problem isn’t just the water, we can also service or upgrade your pump system.
