Your toilets stay white. Your water stops smelling like something died in the pipes. Guests don’t wrinkle their noses when they wash their hands.
That’s what happens when you treat well water the right way—not with temporary chlorine fixes or water softeners that make bacteria worse. You get water that doesn’t stain your fixtures, corrode your appliances, or make you second-guess what’s coming out of the tap.
The orange rings disappear. The rotten egg smell goes away. Your washing machine stops clogging with bacterial slime. And you’re not replacing water heaters every few years because iron bacteria ate through the tank. Clean water isn’t just about what you drink—it’s about protecting everything water touches in your home.
We focus on one thing: fixing well water problems in Lake County. We’re not plumbers who dabble in filtration or national companies that sell systems and disappear. We test your water, design the system for your specific issues, install it correctly, and service it when needed.
We’ve earned an A+ Better Business Bureau rating with zero complaints and a 5-star reputation because we don’t oversell and we don’t underdeliver. We’re members of the National Water Quality Association, which means we follow industry standards—not shortcuts.
Martel sits on the same limestone aquifer system that creates sulfur and iron problems throughout Central Florida. We’ve seen it all: hydrogen sulfide gas, clear water iron that oxidizes into orange stains, iron bacteria that clogs everything. We know what works here because we’ve been solving these exact problems for homeowners just like you.
First, we test your water—for free, at your home. We’re looking for iron levels, sulfur content, bacteria, pH, hardness, and anything else that’s causing problems. You can’t fix what you don’t measure, and one-size-fits-all systems don’t work when every well is different.
Once we know what’s in your water, we design a system that targets your specific issues. If you’ve got hydrogen sulfide, we might use air injection oxidation to eliminate the gas before it reaches your faucets. If iron bacteria is the problem, hydrogen peroxide injection can kill it without chemicals sitting in a tank. If you’re dealing with clear water iron that stains everything orange, an iron removal system treats it at the point of entry—before it oxidizes and ruins your fixtures.
We install the system ourselves. No subcontractors, no handoffs. And when it needs service down the road, we’re the ones who come back. You’re not calling a 1-800 number and waiting three weeks for someone who’s never seen your setup before.

A whole house water filtration system treats every drop of water that enters your home. That means filtered water from every faucet, every shower, every appliance. No more buying bottled water or installing separate filters under each sink.
In Martel and the surrounding Lake County area, most well water issues come from the limestone aquifer—sulfur compounds dissolve into the water, iron oxidizes and stains, and bacteria thrive in warm, low-oxygen conditions. A properly designed system handles all of it. Air injection oxidation removes hydrogen sulfide without chemicals. Iron removal systems prevent staining before it starts. Bacteria disinfection keeps your pipes clear and your water safe.
You’re not just protecting your health—you’re protecting your investment. Water heaters last longer when they’re not fighting bacterial buildup. Washing machines don’t clog with slime. Dishwashers actually clean dishes instead of coating them with mineral deposits. And you stop spending weekends scrubbing orange stains that come back the next day.
We also offer a $500 discount for military members and first responders, because some things matter more than profit margins.
That smell is hydrogen sulfide gas, and it’s common in Central Florida well water because of our limestone geology. Sulfur compounds dissolve into groundwater, and when they break down, they release that unmistakable rotten egg odor—especially noticeable in hot water.
A water softener won’t fix it. Chlorine might mask it temporarily, but the gas keeps coming back. The right solution is air injection oxidation, which removes hydrogen sulfide before the water enters your home. It’s chemical-free, low-maintenance, and it actually works.
If the smell is really strong or only happens in certain faucets, you might also have bacteria in your water heater or pipes. That’s a separate issue, but it’s fixable with the right treatment approach.
You’ve got clear water iron. It’s dissolved in the water when it comes out of your well, so it looks perfectly fine. But when it hits the air, it oxidizes—turns into rust—and stains everything it touches. Toilets, sinks, tubs, laundry. The stains don’t scrub off because the iron is bonding to the surface.
An iron removal system treats the water at your main line before it reaches any fixtures. It oxidizes the iron in a controlled environment, filters it out, and sends clean water through your house. No more orange rings. No more rust-colored laundry.
Water softeners can help with some iron, but if you’ve got more than a small amount—or if you’ve got iron bacteria on top of it—you need a system designed specifically for iron removal. Otherwise, you’re just moving the problem around.
A water softener removes hardness—calcium and magnesium—that causes scale buildup. It’s great for protecting appliances and making soap work better, but it doesn’t remove iron, sulfur, or bacteria. In fact, if you’ve got iron bacteria, a softener can make it worse by giving the bacteria a place to grow.
A well water filtration system is designed to handle the specific problems in your water: hydrogen sulfide treatment for odor, iron removal for staining, bacteria disinfection for contamination. Depending on your water test results, you might need both—a filtration system to remove contaminants and a softener to handle hardness.
The key is testing first. If you install the wrong system, you’re wasting money and not solving the problem. We test your water for free so we know exactly what you’re dealing with before recommending anything.
It depends on the type of system and what’s in your water, but most systems need basic maintenance once or twice a year. Air injection oxidation systems are low-maintenance—mostly checking the air pump and cleaning the filter. Hydrogen peroxide injection systems need the peroxide tank refilled periodically, but there are no complicated parts to replace.
If you’ve got a lot of iron or sediment, you might need to backwash the system more often or change filters sooner. We’ll walk you through what your specific system needs when we install it, and we’re available for service calls if something comes up.
The biggest mistake people make is ignoring maintenance until the system stops working. A little attention goes a long way. We service all makes and models, not just the ones we install, so even if you bought your system somewhere else, we can help keep it running.
Iron bacteria itself won’t make you sick—it’s not a health hazard to ingest. But it creates conditions where harmful bacteria can thrive, and it clogs pipes, reduces water flow, and damages appliances. If you’ve got slimy buildup in your toilet tank or a metallic sheen on your water, that’s usually iron bacteria.
Other bacteria—like coliform or E. coli—are a different story. Those can absolutely make you sick, and they’re more common in private wells than most people realize. If your water test shows bacteria, you need disinfection, not just filtration.
Well water bacteria disinfection usually involves hydrogen peroxide injection or UV treatment, depending on the situation. Chlorine works too, but it’s harsher and requires more maintenance. The goal is to kill the bacteria before it reaches your taps and keep it from growing back in your pipes or water heater.
