Well Water Filtration & Treatment
Well Water Filtration & Treatment in Sunnyvale
Custom systems for private wells in Los Altos Hills, Saratoga, Los Gatos and the surrounding hills.
Private wells need a designed system
Well water filtration and treatment in Sunnyvale's service area happens up in the hills: Los Altos Hills, Saratoga, the slopes above Los Gatos and toward the Santa Cruz Mountains. Those homes treat their own water, and wells in the area can carry iron, manganese, hardness, sediment, sulfur odor or bacteria in any combination.
Order matters. Sediment first, iron and manganese next, hardness after that, disinfection last, so every stage protects the one behind it. We test the well fully, design the train around the results and your pump's flow rate, and install it with sample ports between stages so performance can be checked.
Every well system gets a written record of the test, the stages, valve settings and service dates. That speeds up troubleshooting and gives a future buyer a clear history of the water system.
If you are buying a hillside property with a well, test before closing. A well panel, a look at the pump and pressure tank and a rough treatment plan give you real numbers to negotiate with, rather than a surprise after the keys change hands. We can usually schedule a pre-purchase well test within a few days.

What a well system can include
Every train is built from your test results.
Full well panel
Bacteria, iron, manganese, hardness, pH, TDS, turbidity and sulfur.
Spin-down sediment screen
Catches sand before anything expensive.
Iron and manganese removal
Air injection or oxidizing media, chosen by level and pH.
pH correction
Neutralizing media where acidic water attacks copper.
Softening
Sized for well hardness, which often runs high.
UV disinfection
The final stage, protected by everything before it.
Sample ports
Prove each stage works and find any that does not.
Pump and pressure check
Flow rate and tank condition set the size of everything else.
How a well project runs
-
Test
Samples at the pressure tank; lab results explained in plain terms, usually within a week.
-
Design and specify
Stage-by-stage spec sheet with a price. Optional stages marked as optional.
-
Install and verify
Most of a day; plumbing sanitized, readings re-taken, follow-up bacteria test recommended.

Full records
Settings and dates written down for every stage.
-
Ongoing service
Media, lamps and annual tests on one schedule.
- Before-and-after readings
- Written spec sheet and price
- Certified components
