Ford River wells are hard. Bay water is not the same job.

Rural Delta County wells in Ford River, Wells, and Cornell run hardness, iron, and sulfur. We test at the house, then install a softener, iron filter, or well pump sized for that water — not for Escanaba city supply.

Well-water treatment in Escanaba, Ford River and Wells

Escanaba city water is municipal. The calls we take are wells: Ford River, Wells, Cornell, Stonington, and lots off 13th Road. Limestone and iron make that water hard and orange. We test first, show you the numbers, and install filtration and pumps that match, without a whole-house upsell you do not need. See all of the Upper Peninsula →

Delta County well chemistry, not a generic package.

Hardness scales heaters; iron stains fixtures. We soften, filter sulfur, and replace pumps that fail on a Ford River power outage.

Water Softeners

End hard-water scale, spotting and dry skin with a properly sized softener, installed and set up right.

Iron & Sulfur Filtration

Kill the rust stains and rotten-egg smell at the source with whole-house iron/sulfur removal.

Well Pump Repair & Replacement

No water or low pressure? We diagnose and replace failing well pumps and pressure tanks fast.

UV & Bacteria Treatment

Protect your family from bacteria in well water with UV disinfection and testing.

Whole-House Filtration

Sediment and carbon filtration for clean, clear water at every tap.

Free Water Testing

We test your water and show you exactly what is in it before recommending anything.

Hard water is already shortening the heater.

Scale and iron cost more in appliances than a $2,000–$5,000 system. Get a free test in Ford River or Wells before you replace another tank.
