Well Water Treatment Systems
If your home relies on a private well, you know how valuable — and sometimes unpredictable — that water source can be. Unlike public mains water, private wells aren’t regulated, which means testing and treatment are your responsibility. Over time, groundwater can become contaminated with minerals, bacteria, or natural gases, leading to staining, odours, or potential health risks.
At MyH2O, we specialise in private well water treatment systems that make your water clean, safe, and crystal clear. Whether you’re dealing with metallic taste, discolouration, or bacterial contamination, we’ll design a custom treatment solution that restores your water to the quality your home deserves.
From farms and rural homes to guesthouses and small businesses — we make well water safe for everyday use.
Our Range of Well Filtration Systems
Each well is unique — so every solution starts with understanding your water’s chemistry. Once we identify the contaminants, we design a tailored system using advanced filtration and disinfection technology. With over 20 years of experience treating water from a variety of sources, you can rely on our expertise to design a bespoke system that will eliminate the specific contaminants present in your water source.
Limescale Removal
Water from private wells is typically hard which can wreak havoc on your plumbing and appliances, costing you money and convenience. With a water softener, keep limescale at bay and experience the many benefits of soft water such as extended lifespan of appliances, soft skin, healthy hair, and more.
Iron & Manganese Removal
If your well water leaves brown or black stains on sinks, toilets, or clothes, or tastes metallic, it’s likely due to high iron and manganese levels.
We use specialised filtration media that oxidise and capture these metals, removing them before they enter your plumbing. The result is clear, odour-free water that’s gentle on your home and appliances.
Bacteria Removal Systems
Private wells can become contaminated with bacteria such as E. coli, coliforms, and cryptosporidium, especially if they’re located near septic tanks or farmland.
Our UV disinfection systems provide powerful, chemical-free protection. They work by exposing water to ultraviolet light that instantly neutralises bacteria and viruses, ensuring your water is microbiologically safe without altering taste or odour.
Odour Removal Systems
A strong rotten-egg smell in well water is a tell-tale sign of hydrogen sulphide gas. Besides being unpleasant, it can corrode plumbing and heating elements.
Our aeration systems safely remove this gas by exposing the water to oxygen and venting the odour before it reaches your tap. No chemicals, no aftertaste — just fresh, neutral-smelling water.
pH Correction Systems
Acidic well water (low pH) can cause blue or green stains and slowly corrode copper and brass fixtures. Over time, this leads to leaks and costly plumbing repairs.
Our pH correction filters use natural calcite media to neutralise acidity and balance your water’s chemistry, protecting your pipes and extending the lifespan of your entire system.
Turbidity Removal Systems
If your well water looks cloudy or leaves grit at the bottom of glasses, it’s likely high in turbidity — tiny suspended particles such as silt, clay, or organic matter.
Our turbidity removal filters trap and clear these particles, delivering sparkling, clear water that looks and feels cleaner. By removing sediment, we also protect other filters and appliances downstream.
Local Authority Water Grants – Save up to €1,000
Irish homeowners with private wells may qualify for financial assistance under the Local Authority Rural Water Programme. These grants of up to €1,000 can cover most types of remedial or treatment works for private water supplies — including filtration, pH correction, iron and manganese removal, and disinfection systems
To be eligible:
Your home must be over 7 years old
You must not be connected to a public or group water scheme.
At MyH2O, we’ve helped countless homeowners improve their water quality through this scheme. While we don’t manage the grant directly, our team can guide you through the process, help identify qualifying works, and provide detailed system quotations for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my well water need treatment?
Well water often contains naturally occurring minerals, bacteria, or gases that affect quality, taste, and safety. Since private wells aren’t monitored by local authorities, it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure the water is safe to use. Treatment helps remove contaminants and protect both health and plumbing.
What are the most common well water issues in Ireland?
Typical issues include:
- Iron and manganese (causing staining and metallic taste)
- Hydrogen sulphide (rotten-egg odour)
- Low pH (acidic water)
- Turbidity (cloudy water)
- Bacteria contamination (E. coli, coliforms)
Our systems can address each of these problems individually or in combination, depending on your water test results.
How do I know which system I need?
The first step is to have your water analysed. The test results show what contaminants are present and at what levels. Based on that, we design a treatment system that targets those specific issues — whether that’s a filtration, disinfection, or pH correction unit.
How often should well water be tested?
Private well owners should test their water at least once a year, and immediately if you notice changes in taste, odour, or colour. Regular testing helps detect contamination early before it becomes a health concern.
Can the Local Authority Well Grant cover treatment systems?
Yes — most filtration and disinfection works qualify. The grant can provide up to €1,000 toward the cost of improving a private water supply. We’ll assist you with the technical details required for your application, such as system specifications and cost breakdowns.
How long do well treatment systems last?
With proper maintenance, most systems last 10–15 years or more. Filters and media may need to be replaced every 1–2 years depending on water quality and usage. We offer full servicing and maintenance to keep your system performing like new.
Are treatment systems environmentally friendly?
Yes. Our systems are designed to use minimal energy and avoid chemical discharge. UV disinfection and aeration, for example, treat water safely without adding chemicals or altering its natural balance.
Will treated well water taste better?
Absolutely. Once iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulphide are removed, the water tastes cleaner, fresher, and more natural. Most customers immediately notice a difference in flavour and clarity.
Can you install systems in older properties or farms?
Yes — our technicians work on all types of properties, from modern homes to farmhouses and rural cottages. We’ll adapt the system to suit your existing plumbing and available space.
