Calcium Buildup

Cause: Excessive Mineral Content in Water

Bacteria

Cause: Well Extension Required or New Well Cap Required
Solution: UV System & Well Maintenance
If a well is not properly sealed, harmful or unwanted bacteria can get into the well water and cause contamination.

Sediment

Cause: Corroded Casing, Broken Well Screen, Faulty Pressure Tank or Water Bearing Layer
Solution: New Pressure Tank, Sand Filter, Turbidity Filter or Replacement Well 
One of the main sources of sediment is rust or small particulate in the water bearing layer. Old piping, corroded casing, broken well screen, or a faulty pressure tank could be the cause. Rust can indicate deterioration of plumbing, which causes rust and when left unrectified potential leaks can occur.
