Iron and sulfur are the two biggest problems with Palm Beach County well water — common in The Acreage, Loxahatchee, Jupiter Farms, and Lake Worth Corridor. We install proven removal systems built for South Florida well conditions.

If you're on a well in The Acreage, Loxahatchee, Jupiter Farms, or western Lake Worth, you're pulling water from the Surficial Aquifer — which sits on top of limestone with iron-rich layers underneath. That gives you three classic problems municipal water doesn't have.
Here's the typical contaminant profile we see in well water tests across these neighborhoods:
Big-box stores sell "well water kits" for $800-1,200 that homeowners install themselves. They almost always fail within 12-24 months. Here's why:
| Big-Box DIY Well Kit | Professional Stack (Ours) | |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-oxidation (aeration) | Skipped — iron stays dissolved, filter clogs fast | Aeration tank converts iron/sulfur for capture |
| Sequencing | Softener first — destroyed by iron in 6-18 months | Iron filter first, then softener (correct order) |
| System sizing | One-size-fits-all | Sized to YOUR iron level, household size, well output |
| Backwash programming | Factory defaults — wrong for high iron | Programmed to YOUR water — saves 30-40% water |
| Bacterial control | Ignored — biofilm clogs system over time | Tested + treated if needed (UV or chlorination) |
| True 5-year cost | $1,200 install + $3,500 replacements + ruined softener | $3,500-6,500 installed, lasts 15+ years |
Peak Water has tested and treated well water across every major neighborhood in western Palm Beach County. We know the exact aquifer conditions, the right system sequencing, and which corner-cutting installs are causing problems we then have to fix. If a competitor quoted you a "$2,000 fix-it-all" for your well — get a second opinion.
Well water systems are not interchangeable with municipal water systems. The contaminants, flow rates, and bacterial loads are completely different. We design systems specifically for Palm Beach well conditions — not pull-it-off-a-shelf solutions.
Pre-treatment oxidizes dissolved iron and sulfur so they can be filtered out. Most companies skip this — it's the difference between working and not.
Specialized media that captures oxidized iron and self-cleans via backwash. No chemicals required for most wells.
Programmed backwash cycles based on YOUR water — not factory defaults. Saves water and keeps media performing.
Iron treatment first, then softener. Reverse it and you'll destroy your softener in 18 months. We design the stack right.
We come out, test the raw well water on-site, and identify exactly what's wrong before recommending anything.
Based on your iron level, sulfur presence, hardness, and household demand. Not a one-size kit.
Well water systems are bigger projects than city water. We handle electrical, plumbing, and drain.
We test the treated water before we leave. No more orange stains by next week's laundry.
These usually go together for full well water treatment.
