Why Well Water Treatment Is Essential for Western NY Homes

Well water in Western New York is often untreated and vulnerable to a variety of natural and man-made contaminants. If you’re using a private well in Buffalo or the surrounding areas, your water might contain:

  • Coliform Bacteria & E. coli – Common in shallow wells or areas with aging septic systems

  • Iron and Manganese – Leading to rust stains, metallic tastes, and clogged plumbing

  • Sulfur (Hydrogen Sulfide) – Causes rotten egg odors and unpleasant taste

  • Nitrates and Pesticides – Especially in rural and agricultural zones

  • Hard Water – High levels of calcium and magnesium, which lead to scale buildup

Without regular testing and proper filtration, these contaminants can affect your health, your appliances, and your water.

Common Well Water Problems We Fix in Buffalo and Western NY

At Watercure USA, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across Buffalo and Western New York identify and eliminate a wide range of well water issues. The geology of the region often leads to high mineral content, bacterial contamination, or chemical runoff—especially in rural or agricultural areas. Below are some of the most frequent problems our clients face and how we solve them:

Stains on Sinks, Toilets, Tubs, and Laundry

Problem: Orange or brown staining on plumbing fixtures, clothing, and dishes
Cause: Excess iron or manganese in the water oxidizes when exposed to air, leaving behind rust-like deposits.
Solution: We install iron and manganese removal systems that trap and filter out these minerals before they reach your plumbing or laundry.

Dry Skin and Hair from Hard Water

Problem: Skin feels itchy, dry, or irritated after bathing; hair becomes dull and brittle
Cause: High concentrations of calcium and magnesium in hard water strip away natural oils from the skin and scalp
Solution: Our water softeners exchange hard minerals with sodium or potassium, leaving your water gentler on skin and hair while protecting your water heater and pipes.

Bad-Tasting or Smelly Water

Problem: Metallic, earthy, or sulfur (“rotten egg”) smells or tastes
Cause: Common in Western NY, this is typically caused by hydrogen sulfide gas, iron, manganese, or decaying organic matter in well water
Solution: We use a combination of carbon filtration, oxidizing filters, and aeration or chemical injection systems to eliminate unpleasant tastes and odors at the source.

Frequent Plumbing Repairs Due to Sediment or Scaling

Problem: Clogged showerheads, reduced water pressure, and short lifespans of dishwashers or washing machines
Cause: Sediment, sand, or hard minerals build up in pipes and appliances over time, requiring frequent repair or replacement
Solution: A whole-house sediment pre-filter and a water softening system protect your plumbing and extend the life of your appliances.

Cloudy or Discolored Water from Taps

Problem: Milky, brown, or yellow water when faucets are turned on
Cause: May result from suspended particles, air bubbles, iron deposits, or bacterial contamination
Solution: We provide lab testing to determine the exact cause, followed by installation of the appropriate filtration and disinfection systems, such as UV light or multi-stage filters, to restore water clarity and quality.
