Water Quality & Water Conditioning

Does your water smell like rotten eggs? Leave orange stains in the sink? Taste like a swimming pool? Your home is telling you something about its water — and every one of those problems has a fix. SOS Home Services tests, diagnoses, and treats water quality issues for homes across Prior Lake and the Twin Cities metro, on both city water and private wells. Better-tasting, cleaner, safer water starts with knowing what's actually in yours.

It Starts With a Water Test

Guessing is how homeowners end up with equipment they don't need. We test your water first — hardness, iron, pH, chlorine, and other key indicators — and explain the results in plain English. For well owners, we can also help arrange certified lab testing for nitrates, bacteria, and other contaminants worth checking periodically. Only then do we recommend a treatment plan, and only what your water actually requires.

Water Problems We Solve

  • Rotten-egg smell — hydrogen sulfide, common in private wells; treatable with the right filtration
  • Orange and rust stains — iron in the water staining sinks, tubs, toilets, and laundry
  • Chlorine taste and smell — typical for city water; removed with carbon filtration
  • Cloudy or gritty water — sediment from wells or aging mains
  • Blue-green stains — acidic water corroding copper pipes (a problem worth catching early)
  • Bad-tasting drinking water — solved at the tap or for the whole house

Water Conditioning & Filtration Systems We Install

Whole-Home Filtration

A point-of-entry system treats every drop entering your house — protecting your pipes, water heater, appliances, and skin. Ideal for iron, sediment, chlorine, and odor problems.

Iron & Odor Filters

Purpose-built systems for the classic well-water combo around Prior Lake: iron staining plus sulfur smell. Often installed alongside a water softener for complete treatment.

Drinking Water Systems (Reverse Osmosis)

A compact under-sink RO system delivers clean, great-tasting water from a dedicated faucet — for drinking, cooking, coffee, and ice. The most popular upgrade we install, and most homeowners say the same thing afterward: "we should have done this years ago."

Sediment & Carbon Filtration

Pre-filters and carbon stages that remove grit, improve taste, and extend the life of your other equipment.

Every system is installed to code, leak-tested, and explained — including a simple filter-change schedule you can actually keep up with.

Well Water Around Prior Lake: What We See Most

Scott County and the surrounding townships are full of homes on private wells — and well water here commonly carries iron, sulfur odor, sediment, and hardness all at once. The good news: a properly designed treatment chain (filtration plus softening) handles all of it. We design these systems for our neighbors every week, and we'll size yours for your actual water test, not a sales quota.
