Aerator Systems for Well Water Treatment

Many homeowners and rural properties in Southwest Florida face a common challenge with well water: unpleasant odors (like rotten eggs), metallic taste, and staining on fixtures or laundry. These issues are typically caused by hydrogen sulfide gas, iron, and manganese — naturally occurring contaminants in groundwater.

At D.C. Home Service, we install and maintain aerator systems that resolve these problems by using air — not chemicals — to oxidize and separate contaminants before the water enters your home.

 What Is an Aerator System?

An aerator system is a tank-based water treatment solution that:

1. Injects air into the water using a blower or venturi valve
2. Oxidizes gases (like hydrogen sulfide) and metals (like iron/manganese) 
3. Allows contaminants to separate and settle at the bottom of the tank 
4. Uses drain valves or filter systems to remove unwanted material
   

  This is a chemical-free, environmentally friendly process that improves both the smell and clarity of your water.

​ Expert Aerator System Installation

We design systems for both residential and light commercial well water needs. Our service includes:

• Full water test to assess odor, iron, sulfur, and pH levels
• Selection of proper tank size (typically 120–300 gallons)
• Blower motor installation and venting to exterior
• Drain line configuration for sediment flushing
• Optional integration with media filters (greensand, carbon) for polishing
• Electrical setup with pressure switches and timers

​  Aerator System Maintenance & Service

Like any water system, aerators need proper upkeep to perform efficiently:

• Annual blower motor inspection and cleaning
• Drain flush-outs to remove accumulated iron and sediment 
• Air intake & vent screen cleaning 
• System sanitization (if iron bacteria are present) 
• Troubleshooting for odors, noise, or reduced flow
  

  We offer routine maintenance plans and also repair systems installed by other providers.
