Water Treatment for Alpine Wells
Alpine well water comes from gneiss and decomposed granite, which creates specific water quality challenges that require targeted treatment solutions.
What's in Alpine Well Water?
- Hardness: 8-14 grains — causes scale buildup, soap scum, appliance damage
- TDS: 300-700 ppm — affects taste and indicates mineral content
- Common contaminants: moderate hardness, iron from gneiss
Recommended Treatment Systems for Alpine
Iron Filtration (Highly Recommended)
Alpine wells in gneiss and decomposed granite commonly have iron problems. Our iron filters remove:
- Ferrous iron (dissolved, clear water iron)
- Ferric iron (rust stains, orange water)
- Iron bacteria (slimy buildup in toilets and pipes)
System Sizing for Alpine Wells
Your well produces 5-12 GPM. We size treatment systems based on:
- Well flow rate (5-12 GPM)
- Household size and peak demand
- Specific contaminants in your water test
- Water usage patterns (irrigation, livestock, residential)
Neighborhoods We Serve in Alpine
Alpine Heights, Harbison Canyon, Viejas, Victoria Park, Japatul Valley — each area has slightly different water quality based on local geology.
Why Alpine Needs Treatment
Fire-prone area (Cedar Fire 2003, West Fire 2016). Emergency water supply is critical. Mountain community with mix of estates and rural properties.
This geological and geographic context means Alpine wells commonly require treatment for: moderate hardness, iron from gneiss.
