Iron and Sulfur Removal Systems
What Clean Well Water Actually Looks Like
Your toilets stay white. Your water heater lasts years longer. Guests don’t wrinkle their nose when they turn on the tap.
That’s what happens when you treat well water the right way. Not with a basic filter that clogs in six months, but with a system designed for what’s actually in your water.
In Arrowhead, that usually means iron, hydrogen sulfide, and bacteria. All three come from the limestone aquifer beneath Central Florida. The same geological formation that gives you abundant groundwater also dissolves minerals and creates low-oxygen conditions where sulfur bacteria thrive.
A whole house well water filtration system treats every drop before it reaches your faucets, showers, and appliances. You stop scrubbing orange rings. Your whites stay white in the wash. And you’re not replacing water heaters or washing machines years before you should.
The difference isn’t just cosmetic. Iron and sulfur damage your plumbing over time. Bacteria create biofilm that’s nearly impossible to remove once it’s established. Fixing those problems after the fact costs a lot more than preventing them with the right filtration from the start.
Arrowhead Well Water Treatment Experts
Over 50 Years Solving Florida Water Problems
We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and zero complaints. That doesn’t happen by accident.
We’ve been installing well water filtration systems across Central Florida for over five decades. We’re members of the National Water Quality Association, and we actually service what we sell. That last part matters more than you’d think. Plenty of companies install a system and disappear. We don’t.
Every system we install in Arrowhead starts with free water testing. We need to know what’s in your water before we recommend anything. Iron levels, sulfur concentration, bacteria presence, pH, hardness. Those numbers tell us exactly what treatment approach will work for your specific situation.
How Well Water Filtration Works
From Water Test to Clean Water
First, we test your water. Not a basic hardness test. A complete analysis that shows us iron levels, hydrogen sulfide concentration, bacteria, pH, and anything else that affects treatment.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we design a system for your home. For most Arrowhead wells, that means a multi-stage approach. Air injection oxidation converts dissolved iron and hydrogen sulfide into particles that can be filtered out. A catalytic media tank traps those particles. And if bacteria are present, we add hydrogen peroxide injection or UV disinfection.
The system installs at your main water line, before water reaches any fixture or appliance. From that point forward, every drop gets treated. Installation typically takes a day. We handle the plumbing connections, set the controls, and test the output to make sure everything’s working correctly.
After installation, you’ll notice the difference immediately. No smell. No staining. Water that actually tastes clean. We’ll walk you through basic maintenance, which is minimal. Most systems just need a media change every few years, depending on your water quality and usage.

Well Water Filtration Systems We Install
The Right Treatment for Your Water
Iron removal systems use air injection oxidation to convert dissolved ferrous iron into ferric iron particles. Those particles get trapped in a catalytic filter media that backwashes automatically. It’s the most effective approach for the iron levels common in Lake County wells.
Hydrogen sulfide treatment works the same way. Air oxidizes the sulfur gas into sulfur particles that the media can capture. If you’ve got that rotten egg smell, this eliminates it completely. No more embarrassment when guests use your bathroom.
For bacteria, we use either hydrogen peroxide injection or UV disinfection, depending on what your water test shows. Iron bacteria are particularly stubborn because they create a protective biofilm. Peroxide breaks down that biofilm while the oxidation process kills the bacteria. UV light provides an additional disinfection stage that handles any remaining microorganisms.
Every system we install is a whole house solution. Point-of-use filters under your kitchen sink don’t protect your appliances or stop staining in your bathrooms. Whole house filtration treats water at the entry point, so everything in your home benefits.
We also offer a $500 discount for military members and first responders. If you’ve served, that’s our way of saying thank you.
How do I know if my well water needs filtration?
If your water smells like rotten eggs, leaves orange or red stains, tastes metallic, or turns your laundry yellow, you need filtration. Those are the obvious signs.
Less obvious signs include frequent water heater failures, clogged faucet aerators, or a slimy feeling in your toilet tank. That slime is usually iron bacteria, which creates a biofilm that’s extremely difficult to remove once established.
The only way to know for sure what’s in your water is to test it. We provide free water analysis that measures iron, sulfur, bacteria, pH, hardness, and other contaminants. Those numbers tell us exactly what treatment you need. Guessing doesn’t work. Different problems require different solutions, and the wrong system won’t fix your issue.
What's the difference between a water softener and a filtration system?
A water softener removes hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium. It doesn’t remove iron, sulfur, or bacteria. If your main problem is scale buildup on fixtures, a softener helps. If your problem is staining, odor, or bacteria, you need filtration.
Many Arrowhead homes need both. The limestone aquifer creates hard water and dissolves iron. A complete system treats the iron and sulfur first, then softens the water. Running iron through a softener will damage the resin bed and reduce its effectiveness.
We design systems based on your actual water chemistry. Sometimes that’s filtration only. Sometimes it’s filtration plus softening. Sometimes it’s a multi-stage system with oxidation, filtration, disinfection, and softening. Your water test determines what you actually need, not what we want to sell you.
How much does a whole house well water filtration system cost?
It depends on what’s in your water and how much treatment you need. A basic iron removal system costs less than a multi-stage system that handles iron, sulfur, and bacteria.
What we can tell you is that proper filtration costs less than replacing appliances every few years. A new water heater runs $1,200 to $2,000. A washing machine is $600 to $1,500. Dishwashers, faucets, and fixtures add up quickly when iron and sulfur corrode them prematurely.
We provide free water testing and a written estimate before you commit to anything. You’ll know exactly what the system costs, what it does, and why we’re recommending it. No surprises. No pressure. Just information so you can make a decision that makes sense for your home and budget. Military members and first responders get $500 off.
How often does a well water filtration system need maintenance?
Most systems need minimal maintenance. The media that captures iron and sulfur particles lasts three to seven years, depending on your water quality and how much water you use. When it’s time to replace it, we handle that service call.
The system backwashes itself automatically, usually once a week. That flushes trapped particles out through your drain line. You don’t need to do anything. The control valve manages the backwash cycle based on water usage or a timer.
If your system includes hydrogen peroxide injection, you’ll need to refill the peroxide tank every few months. That’s a simple pour-in process, similar to adding salt to a softener. UV bulbs, if your system has one, need replacement annually. We send reminders when service is due, and we’re available to handle any maintenance you’d rather not do yourself.
Will a filtration system remove the iron bacteria in my well?
Yes, but it requires the right approach. Iron bacteria create a slimy biofilm that protects them from standard treatment. You need oxidation strong enough to break down that biofilm while killing the bacteria.
Hydrogen peroxide injection is the most effective method. Peroxide oxidizes the biofilm and disinfects the water. Combined with air injection and catalytic filtration, it eliminates both the bacteria and the iron they feed on.
Some wells need shock chlorination before we install the system. That’s a one-time treatment that floods your well and plumbing with chlorine to kill existing bacteria colonies. Once the system is running, it prevents bacteria from reestablishing. We’ll test your water first and let you know if shock treatment is necessary. Not every well needs it, but when bacteria levels are high, it gives you a clean start.
