What turns up in Irish wells
The ground decides the water. Limestone country runs hard, granite and peat run acidic, bog ground stains everything orange and farmland carries nitrates. Two wells on the same road can need different treatment, which is why the lab report comes first.
Iron
Orange-brown marks on laundry, sinks and toilets, and a metallic taste. The most common complaint we see from wells.
StainingManganese
Black specks and dark stains, often alongside iron. The drinking water limit is 50 micrograms per litre.
Staining and healthBacteria
E. coli and coliforms from livestock, a septic tank or surface water getting into the well. You can't see, smell or taste them.
Health, treat firstHardness
Limescale in the kettle, the shower, the cylinder and the boiler. Normal across the limestone counties.
ScalingNitrates
From fertiliser and slurry run-off. A particular concern for infants. The drinking water limit is 50 milligrams per litre.
HealthAcidic water (low pH)
Blue-green stains on sinks and pinhole leaks in copper pipe, because the water is slowly dissolving the plumbing.
CorrosionRotten-egg smell
Hydrogen sulphide gas in the water, usually worst from the hot tap.
SmellSediment
Sand, silt and rust flakes that wear out pumps, valves and every filter after them if they aren't caught first.
Wear and blockageIf your report shows bacteria, don't drink the water untreated in the meantime. Boil it or use bottled water until a disinfection system is fitted and a repeat lab test comes back clear.
Test first, then design, then fit
We don't put a price on a well system before we see the numbers. Anyone who does is guessing, and a wrong guess on a well usually costs more than the system.
Get the water tested
An independent, INAB-accredited laboratory analyses a sample from your well. We don't test water ourselves, but we can point you to a lab and tell you which tests are worth ordering: usually iron, manganese, hardness, pH, nitrate and bacteria.
Already have a report? Skip to step twoSend us the report
Email it with your Eircode, the size of the house and anything you have noticed. We read the results and work out what your water needs, in what order, and what size.
No charge and no obligationQuote, fit and commission
You get an itemised quote that explains why each part is there. Our own plumbers fit it, set it up and show you how to look after it. Most whole-house systems are fitted in a day.
Then a service visit once a yearWe install nationwide, except Donegal, Kerry, Leitrim and Sligo.
What fixes what, and the order it goes in
A well system is rarely one box. It's a line of them, and the order matters as much as the parts: put them in the wrong order and the iron fouls the softener or cloudy water blinds the UV lamp. You only get the stages your report calls for.
| What we fit | What it deals with | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sediment filterCartridge or backwashing filter at the start of the line. | Sand, silt and rust, so nothing after it clogs. |
| 2 | pH correctionA vessel of neutralising mineral that raises the pH of acidic water. | Blue-green staining and corrosion of copper pipe and brass fittings. |
| 3 | Iron and manganese filterOxidises the dissolved metals and traps them in a catalytic filter bed, which backwashes itself clean. | Orange and black staining, metallic taste and the rotten-egg smell. |
| 4 | Water softenerResin that swaps the calcium and magnesium for sodium, regenerated with salt. | Limescale throughout the house. |
| 5 | UV disinfectionAn ultraviolet lamp on the main line, fitted last so the water reaching it is clear. | E. coli, coliforms and other bacteria, with no chemicals added. |
| 6 | Reverse osmosis at the kitchen tapAn under-sink drinking water system with its own tap. | Nitrates and whatever dissolved solids are left, for the water you drink and cook with. |
On mains water and only after better drinking water or less limescale? You don't need any of this. See drinking water filters or water softeners.

The difference in the water quality is amazing — softer water throughout the house and great-tasting drinking water straight from the tap. I'm very happy with both the products and the workmanship. Highly recommend EcoFilter Ireland to anyone thinking about improving their water quality!
Google reviewI had a great experience with CPS Plumbing. The work was done professionally and efficiently, and I was particularly impressed with Aggie, who was excellent throughout.
