Well Water Filter Solutions in St. George, UT
Many homes outside St. George city limits rely on private wells for their water. While well water can taste clean and natural, it’s also untreated and unregulated, meaning the responsibility for water safety falls entirely on the homeowner.
At Element Plumbing, Heating & Air, we specialize in well water filtration, softening, and purification systems designed for southern Utah’s desert conditions, protecting your family from minerals, sediment, and naturally occurring contaminants like arsenic.

- In nearby Iron County, 3 out of every 5 private wells tested showed detectable arsenic.
- Some wells contained levels above 10 µg/L, the EPA’s federal limit, while others had moderate exposure (5–10 µg/L), concentrations linked by the World Health Organization to vascular and heart disease after long-term exposure.
- The EPA’s Utah Mormon Community Study found that residents with similar exposure levels had twice the rate of hypertensive heart disease compared to those with cleaner water.
And arsenic isn’t the only concern. Wells in and around St. George often show signs of:
- Hard Water & Mineral Scale: Most wells measure 20–25 grains per gallon, among the hardest in Utah. This causes scale buildup that damages plumbing and shortens appliance life by up to 40%.
- Sediment & Cloudiness: Fine red-rock dust and desert sand can infiltrate shallow well casings, making water appear cloudy and clogging filters prematurely.
- Bacteria & Microorganisms: Wells near farmland, livestock, or septic systems can harbor coliform or E. coli, especially after heavy rain or flooding.
- Sulfur Odor (“Rotten Egg” Smell): Hydrogen sulfide gas is common in deep wells and can corrode plumbing while leaving a strong, unpleasant odor.
- Manganese & Iron Staining: Though less common in city water, some private wells show metal staining on fixtures and laundry when left untreated.
Because private wells aren’t regulated like municipal systems, routine testing and professional treatment are essential to ensure your water stays safe year-round.
