Many well-water problems show up as odor, staining, or supply issues. Below are concerns our systems are commonly used to address, along with the equipment dealers typically pair with each. For a specific situation, consult your local water-treatment professional.
How to use this page
Match the concern to a treatment approach
Well water varies widely from site to site, and the right approach depends on testing and field conditions. The descriptions here use general, cautious language and are intended to help dealers and homeowners understand where each system commonly fits — not to diagnose a specific well or guarantee a result.
Common concerns
Symptoms and where systems commonly fit
Odor
Sulfur odor & rotten-egg smell
Hydrogen-sulfide odor is commonly addressed with aeration and air-stripping treatment.
Commonly paired with
Sentry I Open-Air System, Air Stripping Package
Staining
Iron staining
Aeration is widely used to support oxidation of dissolved iron ahead of a filtration stage.
Commonly paired with
Gas Reduction System (G130), G140 Series
Staining
Manganese
Like iron, manganese is commonly handled with aeration ahead of filtration selected for the application.
Commonly paired with
Sentry I Open-Air System
Biological
Iron bacteria
Chlorination and well-sanitizing programs may help address iron-bacteria conditions.
Commonly paired with
Dry Pellet Chlorinator, Well Safe®
Problem gas
Methane gas
The Gas Reduction System is the recommended approach for venting methane from well water.
Commonly paired with
Gas Reduction System, Sentry I Open-Air System
Problem gas
Radon gas
The Air-Stripping Package is the effective approach for reducing radon; the Gas Reduction System is not effective for radon.

ReVolution Package
Supply
Low-yield wells
Low-yield well applications can be paired with storage and pressure-boosting equipment.
Commonly paired with
Aqua Booster System, G140 Series
Disinfection
Routine chlorination
Where consistent disinfection is part of the approach, dry-pellet chlorination is commonly used, supported by accurate flow measurement.
Commonly paired with
Dry Pellet Chlorinator, Flow Meter
Maintenance
Well, cistern & tank sanitizing
Routine and post-service sanitizing of wells, cisterns, and storage tanks is commonly handled with Well Safe® products, following the product label.

System approach
How the systems work together
01 / Aerate
Open-air aeration
The Sentry I Open-Air System introduces air to support oxidation and to help vent gases such as methane, radon, and CO2.
02 / Disinfect
Chlorination
The Dry Pellet Chlorinator adds consistent disinfection where an application calls for it.
03 / Measure
Flow measurement
The Flow Meter supports accurate dosing, setup, and dependable calibration.
04 / Maintain
Well sanitizing
Well Safe® products support routine maintenance and post-service well treatment.
The ReVolution Package brings these stages together as a companion platform designed to work alongside the Sentry I Open-Air System. Learn about ReVolution →
