Well Water Doesn't Come with a Warning Label. But We Do
If your family’s drinking water comes from a well, it’s not just “natural”-it’s unfiltered, unmonitored, and possibly unsafe.
From rust-colored stains to that rotten egg smell, these aren’t just nuisances-they're warning signs.

WELL WATER
The Invisible Threats in Your Well Water
IRON & SULFUR
Cause staining, corrode appliances, and smell like rotten eggs.
PESTICIDES & HERBICIDES
Found in groundwater across rural and suburban areas.
BACTERIA & VIRUSES
Without proper disinfection, your well could harbor E. coli and worse.
HEAVY METALS & VOC's
These chemicals don’t knock. They leach in through runoff and stay for years
Private wells aren’t regulated. That means if you don’t test or treat, you’ll never know what’s really flowing through your pipes.

TESTIMONIALS
Hear What Our Clients Have to Say
“I sleep better knowing we’re ready for anything.”
After Hurricane Ian, our neighborhood was without clean water for three days. I promised my wife we’d never be in that position again. Defcon Water built a system tailored to our well, and now we have full-home protection—no matter what happens
James T., Ocala, FL
“The only system that made me feel truly protected.”
I looked at a lot of options, but nothing compared to Defcon. The fact that it’s built for biological and chemical threats really set it apart. Our city water has had boil notices twice this year—now I don’t even worry about it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Your Well Water? We've Got You Covered
Is well water safe to drink?
It can be—but only if it’s properly filtered and tested regularly. Unlike city water, private wells aren’t regulated by the EPA, so contaminants like bacteria, nitrates, heavy metals, and agricultural runoff can go undetected without filtration.
Why does my well water smell like rotten eggs?
That sulfur smell usually comes from hydrogen sulfide gas or iron bacteria in your water supply. It’s common in well systems and can be neutralized with our Defcon 3 air injection filter setup.
What’s the brown or orange staining on my sinks and toilets?
This is a sign of iron in your well water. Over time, iron can stain fixtures, damage appliances, and clog plumbing. Defcon 3 includes an air injection filter and softener that helps eliminate these issues.
Can pesticides or farm chemicals get into my well?
Yes. Runoff from nearby farms, landscaping, or even your own yard can leach into the groundwater and contaminate your well. Our Defcon 2 and Defcon 1 systems are specifically designed to remove herbicides, pesticides, and VOCs for safer everyday water use.
How often should I test my well water?
At least once a year—or more often if you notice changes in taste, smell, color, or after a major weather event. We offer professional water testing to help identify exactly what’s in your water and what system will protect your home best.
What’s the difference between softening and filtering well water?
A water softener removes minerals like calcium and magnesium that cause scale and hardness. Filters, on the other hand, target contaminants like iron, sulfur, bacteria, and chemicals. Most well systems need both to fully protect your home.
Do I need a whole-home system, or can I just filter the kitchen sink?
It depends on your water quality and goals. If you're only concerned with drinking water, a point-of-use reverse osmosis system might be enough. But for full protection—cleaner water for bathing, cooking, laundry, and appliances—a whole-home system is the smarter investment.
Our well water smells bad—can you fix that?
Yes. If you’re smelling rotten eggs (sulfur) or seeing rust stains (iron), we’ve got chemical-free solutions that neutralize those contaminants and give you clear, odorless water from every tap.
Can your systems remove bacteria or viruses from well water?
Yes. We offer UV filtration and other advanced disinfection options that eliminate microbial threats at the source, giving you confidence every time you turn on the faucet.
Why is there sediment or grit in my well water?
Sediment can be caused by issues in the well casing or pump, or from natural deposits in your water source. A properly installed filtration system with sediment pre-filters can remove grit before it damages appliances or clogs plumbing.
How do I know which Defcon level is right for me?
We offer free consultations to help you understand exactly what’s in your well water. From there, we recommend the right level of protection based on your home's needs, your budget, and how much peace of mind you’re after.
Can I install a Defcon Water system myself?
Yes! All systems come with step-by-step instructions and support videos. If you'd rather not DIY, we can connect you with a local certified installer to handle the job for you. Either way, our team is here to support you from start to finish.
Not Sure What You Need? Let’s Test It.
Every home is different. We offer in-home water testing and expert consultations to identify exactly what your home needs—nothing more, nothing less.
