If your home relies on a private well and septic system, your water quality and plumbing protection require a specialized approach. At AZ Water Solutions, we design smart, low-maintenance well and septic water treatment systems that deliver clean, great-tasting water—without stressing your plumbing, fixtures, or drain field.
Our solutions are built specifically for homes on private wells and septic systems, ensuring long-term performance, system safety, and peace of mind.
When your home is on a private well and septic system, everything happens on your property. That means:
You are fully responsible for your water quality and safety
Oversized or poorly designed systems can overload septic tanks and drain fields
Iron, hardness, sediment, and odors can damage plumbing, fixtures, and appliances
Unlike city water, well water has no regulatory oversight or routine monitoring compared to EPA-regulated municipal supplies
Generic water treatment systems are not designed for this setup. That’s why at AZ Water Solutions we build custom well & septic water treatment solutions—protecting your family, your plumbing, and your septic system.
Every solution starts with understanding your water and your system.
We begin by reviewing your existing well water lab test results, focusing on contaminants such as:
Arsenic
Nitrates
Bacteria
Iron and sediment
Other well-specific concerns
We also evaluate:
Well and septic configuration
Household water usage (whole-home + drinking water)
Pump size, flow rates, holding tank capacity, and well depth
Shared well agreements (if applicable)
Sediment or recovery concerns
This allows us to design a system that truly fits your home.
Hard well water can cause serious long-term problems, including:
White scale buildup on fixtures and glass
Shortened lifespan of water heaters and appliances
Dry skin and dull hair
Soap that won’t lather properly
Our septic-safe water softening systems are designed specifically for well and septic homes, featuring:
Proper equipment sizing to reduce excess discharge
Efficient regeneration cycles to minimize water and potassium use
Layouts and programming that protect septic tanks and drain fields
When designed correctly, water softeners and septic systems can work together safely.
We pair softening with custom whole-house filtration systems designed to address common well water issues, including:
Sediment & sand filtration – protects pumps, valves, and fixtures
Nitrates – often caused by agricultural runoff or fertilizers
Bacteria and viruses – wells are not chlorinated or regularly monitored
Sulfur (odor) reduction – eliminates “rotten egg” smells
Carbon filtration – improves taste and removes common well-water odors
Where it makes sense, we combine these into all-in-one systems that soften and filter in a compact footprint. We also offer stand-alone sediment, arsenic, and specialty systems designed around your specific water chemistry.
A whole-house UV (ultraviolet) purification system provides one of the most effective protections for well water.
While softeners and filters address hardness, iron, and odors, UV targets what they can’t: bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms.
Wells pull water directly from the ground and may contain:
Coliform bacteria
E. coli
Viruses
Protozoa
Organic microorganisms
These contaminants can’t be removed by softeners, carbon filters, sediment filters, or iron systems.
UV provides a powerful final stage of purification.
UV light doesn’t filter or remove anything physically. Instead, it uses high-intensity ultraviolet energy to:
UV breaks the DNA of microorganisms so they can’t reproduce, effectively making them harmless.
The process happens as water flows through the UV chamber, with no chemicals and no taste or odor added.
Every tap, shower, appliance, and fixture receives disinfected water.
✔ 100% chemical-free — no chlorine
✔ No taste or smell added to the water
✔ Instant disinfection—no holding tank required
✔ Highly reliable, especially with annual bulb replacement
✔ Protects against contamination from:
• Storm runoff
• Flooding
• Shallow wells
• Older well heads
• Nearby septic systems
• Wildlife
• Changes in groundwater levels
For kitchens and dedicated drinking water lines, we offer:
Reverse osmosis drinking water systems - considered the last barrier of defense for reducing harmful contaminants
UV Light Systems - for potential bacteria and viruses
Dedicated faucets or fridge line connections
Perfect for families who want the highest quality drinking and cooking water at home.
Your septic is just as important as your water quality.
We design our systems to be septic-friendly, including:
Using potassium instead of salt for the brine
Discharge placement per code
Regeneration schedules that avoid unnecessary shock loads
Equipment sizing that matches:
- Household size
- Water usage and flow rates
- Well production and recovery
If you’re experiencing any of the following, we can help:
Bacteria or viral concerns
Orange or brown staining in toilets, tubs, and sinks
White scale buildup on fixtures and glass
Rotten-egg or metallic odors
Cloudy or gritty water
Soap that doesn’t lather, dry skin, or dull hair
Concerns about septic overload from existing equipment
We review your lab results and assess contaminants, well setup, septic system, plumbing layout, and concerns.
We design a softening, filtration, and/or UV solution tailored specifically to your well + septic setup.
Code-compliant installation with careful attention to piping, drainage, and access.
We provide service, filter changes, and system checkups to keep everything running smoothly.
If your home relies on a private well and septic system, the right water treatment solution makes all the difference—for your health, your plumbing, and your long-term peace of mind.
We’ll review your water test results, evaluate your well and septic setup, and design a custom, septic-safe water treatment system that fits your home, your usage, and your goals.
Have questions about treating well and septic water? Below are answers to the most common concerns homeowners have about safety, system design, and long-term performance.
When properly sized and professionally installed, modern water softeners can be fully compatible with septic systems. The key factors are correct system sizing, efficient regeneration settings, and proper discharge placement. At AZ Water Solutions, every system is designed specifically to protect your septic tank and drain field.
Yes. We regularly inspect, diagnose, and improve existing well and septic water systems. After testing your water and reviewing your current setup, we’ll let you know whether adjustments, repairs, upgrades, or replacement are needed—and explain why.
Not necessarily. Some homes benefit from whole-home treatment, while others only need targeted solutions like drinking water filtration or UV protection. We’ll walk through your options and help you choose the most effective setup for your water quality, usage, and budget.
In many cases, yes. We offer flexible payment options for qualified customers. Ask about financing during your consultation so we can review available solutions together.
Well water should typically be tested at least once per year, or anytime you notice changes in taste, odor, color, or performance. Arizona well water can change due to rainfall, runoff, seasonal conditions, or nearby activity, so regular testing is essential for safety and system performance.
Not always. Unlike city water, private wells are not regulated or routinely monitored. Arizona well water may contain bacteria, nitrates, arsenic, iron, sulfur, or other contaminants. Professional testing is the only way to know what’s in your water and which treatment options are appropriate.
