Well Water Softeners
Well water is usually hard, and it often brings iron and sulfur along with the hardness. A softener on its own fouls quickly in that water. Galene sizes well softening as part of a system that handles the iron and sulfur first, so the softening stage lasts.
- Iron and sulfur treated before the softener
- Salt-based or salt-free options
- Sized from your own well's water analysis
Why wells are different
Hardness is rarely the only thing in a well.
City utilities remove iron and sulfur before the water reaches you. On a well, your system has to.
Iron fouls resin
Dissolved iron coats softener resin and cuts its life short. An aeration or filtration stage ahead of the softener removes it.
Sulfur is a smell, not a hardness
Rotten-egg odor comes from hydrogen sulfide. The G-O2 aerator oxidizes it so it can be filtered out.
Then the hardness
With iron and sulfur handled, a salt-based softener or a salt-free conditioner deals with scale.
Tannins and sediment
Tea-colored water and grit need their own stages, which the GWL includes.
Galene systems
Well systems and softeners.
The GWL is the complete well system. The G-O2 aerator handles sulfur and iron. The GS and GDS add softening or salt-free conditioning where the analysis calls for it.

Questions
Well Water Softeners questions
Straight answers. Anything specific to your home gets answered at the consultation.
Can I put a regular softener on my well?
You can, and it usually fails early if there's iron in the water. We test for iron, sulfur, hardness and tannins at the consultation and build the system in the right order.
Salt-free on a well?
Yes, when iron and sulfur are handled first. The GDS conditioner is rated for well water.
Do you test well water for bacteria?
The in-home analysis covers what treatment needs. For bacteria or specific contaminants we recommend a laboratory test and tell you where to get one.
Hard well water?
Request an in-home consultation. We'll analyze your well and give you an on-the-spot estimate for the right system installed.
