We Treat the Source — Not Just the Symptoms

At Advanced Water Pump Services, we believe in solving the real problem — not just covering it up with unnecessary equipment.

When a water test comes back positive for coliform or other bacteria, some companies rush to sell you a UV light system as the solution. While UV treatment has its place, it often acts more like a band-aid than a cure. It doesn’t eliminate bacteria from the well — it just kills it at the point of entry. Meanwhile, the source of contamination is still sitting inside your system.

Our Approach: Eliminate the Problem at the Source

We start by identifying how and where bacteria is entering your well. Then, we:

• Shock chlorinate the well and plumbing system using proper methods and concentrations
• Flush and monitor the system for regrowth
• Inspect the well casing, seal, and surrounding area to locate potential entry points

In most cases, this thorough disinfection and correction process is enough to eliminate the bacteria — without adding expensive, high-maintenance equipment to your system.

Why UV Lights Aren’t Always the Answer

While UV systems can be useful in certain situations, they come with ongoing commitments that many well owners aren’t told about:

• Require pre-filtration (sediment filters or softeners) to work properly
• Need annual bulb replacements
• Often involve pricey service calls — especially in rural areas
• Don’t solve the contamination issue at the well itself

In our experience, about 80% of bacterial well issues can be resolved without UV treatment when the problem is addressed correctly from the beginning.

When a UV System Does Make Sense

There are situations where UV treatment is justified — and we’re upfront about that. These include:

• Extra-large or older wells with hard-to-reach contamination
• Areas with unstable or unusual underground conditions
• Properties where full source disinfection has failed after multiple attempts

In those cases, we’ll walk you through the costs and maintenance requirements so there are no surprises down the road. But we only recommend UV as a last resort, not a first sale.

No Gimmicks — Just Clean Water, Done Right
