I live in Lakewood Park and I have rotten egg smell in water - AquaTek Pro

I live in Lakewood Park and I have rotten egg smell and my neighbor doesn’t why is that?

We run into this all the time in Lakewood Park!

You have rotten egg smells from hydrogen sulfide and your neighbor doesn’t. Crazy right? Well, there are a lot of factors that can cause this situation. One being how deep your well is compared, to your neighbor. Your well may be in one part of an aquifer and your neighbor can be in a totally different aquifer. Your well may be deeper than your neighbor’s well. Your neighbor may have a layer of material that is providing better filtration than, what you have.

Well drilling

Some wells in Lakewood Park have tannins and some have hydrogen sulfide and some have both. Some of the lakes in Lakewood park have a sulfur smell and some don’t. Some people around those lakes have it and some don’t. Some people in Lakewood Park suffer from iron while some don’t.

The key to dealing with your particular situation is always revealed when we do a water test. The water test tells us what levels of contaminants are in the water coming from your well. We put all the numbers from the water test into our computer system and it tells how best to deal with the contaminants. We then compare your filtration system to what is given by our computer system and can tell you why your system is or is not, taking care of your problem.

If your filter system is not working.

If your filter system is not working, repairs can be made to non-proprietary filter systems. If you have a proprietary system (Culligan, Ecowater/GE or other) you will always have to go back to the company that sold it to you. Proprietary system parts can only be obtained through the proprietary dealer at generally a higher than non-proprietary price. Something to think about, next time you need to replace your system.

Iron problem evident on sediment filter

Iron problems in Lakewood Park generally come from old wells where the pipe walls of the well are starting to deteriorate due to corrosion. Another cause of iron problems can also come from other components of the water system such as the pump made of cast iron or a metal pressure tank.
