Water Filtration System in Lago Vista, TX

Abundant Plumbing installs water treatment systems for well and public supply across the Lago Vista area.

On a well, treatment is a system, not an add-on

Well water is not treated before it reaches the house. Whatever the aquifer and the well contribute arrives at the tap.

Around here that usually means hardness plus sediment, and often iron. Iron stains fixtures and laundry rust-coloured and affects taste. A rotten egg smell usually indicates hydrogen sulphide, from the groundwater or from bacterial activity in the well or heater.

What we install around Lago Vista

• Sediment filtration
• Iron and hydrogen sulphide treatment
• Whole-home softeners
• Point-of-use drinking water filtration
• Well water testing

Order of treatment matters

Coarse sediment comes out first, then treatment for specific contaminants such as iron, then softening, with any drinking water filtration last at the point of use. Get the order wrong and the early stages foul the later ones.

Test the well first, and test it periodically rather than once. There is no utility monitoring behind a private well. Some wells produce good water needing little more than sediment removal. Others carry bacteria, nitrates or minerals that need addressing. The test is the only way to know which you have.

Order of treatment on a well

Coarse sediment comes out first. Then treatment for specific contaminants such as iron. Then softening. Any drinking water filtration goes last, at the point of use.

Get the order wrong and the early equipment fouls the later stages, so a system that was correctly specified stops performing.

Lago Vista Water Filtration FAQ

Do I need to test my well water?

Yes, and periodically rather than once. A private well has no utility monitoring behind it, so testing is the only way to know what you are drinking.

What causes rust-coloured staining?

Iron in the water, very common on well supply here. It stains fixtures and laundry and affects taste. Treatment differs from softening and depends on the form the iron is in.

Why does my well water smell like rotten eggs?

Usually hydrogen sulphide, from the groundwater or from bacterial activity in the well or the water heater. Where it comes from decides the remedy.

In what order should equipment be installed?

Sediment, then contaminant treatment such as iron, then softening, then point-of-use filtration. Wrong order means early stages foul the later ones.

Is well water safe without treatment?

It might be. A test is the only way to know. Some wells need little more than sediment removal. Others carry bacteria, nitrates or minerals that need addressing.
