Partridge Well Drilling has been serving the Jacksonville and North Florida area for over 120 years. We are your water treatment experts and offer a variety of water treatment options for residential and commercial businesses.
One of the most common problems with water is hard water. Hard water can be treated with a water softener or sometimes called water conditioners. Water softeners are installed to remove the hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) and iron from the water. These minerals can form a scale and will cause problems in plumbing systems, water heaters, coffee makers, washing machines, dishwashers, etc. Hard water causes spots on your dishes, smelly water and rust stains. The iron is what sometimes causes the orange or reddish stains on concrete and sides of houses.
Benefits of having a water softener or water conditioner installed include:
Cleaner Laundry
Sparkling Dishes
Reduce soap scum and scaling on fixtures
Reduces residues on skin, hair and clothes
Plumbing Protection
Reduces smell
Reduces stains left behind from minerals and iron in water
Water softening systems range in size and need to be installed to accommodate the requirements of the household. Water softeners or water conditioner systems requires having only one pump, one tank, and water softener tank, brine tank and an area for the system to drain after the regeneration process is completed.

Types of Water Softeners
Water softening systems range in size and need to be installed to accommodate the requirements of the household. This system requires having only one pump, one tank, and water softener tank, brine tank and an area for the system to drain after the regeneration process is completed.
Chlorination / DeChlorination Systems
A chlorination/dechlorination is one type of system installed to remove the smell for the water mainly from artesian wells. The odor is known as Sulphur and can be described as a rotten egg smell. This system uses chlorine being injected into the water system as the pump runs. The water and chlorine mixture goes into a retention tank, where the chlorine has contact time with the Sulphur gas. As water is used in the house the water is then passed through a carbon filter that removes the chlorine from the water. This system requires having only one pump and one tank, a chlorine injection pump, a retention tank, and a carbon filter.
Aeration Systems
The aeration system is another system installed to remove the smell from the water, once again mainly from artesian wells. This system uses two pumps, two tanks and an aerator, which is normally a 225-gallon tank with holes at the top for the gas to escape. The well pump pumps water into the aerator through spray heads at a high pressure and volume, which allows the most of, the Sulphur gas to be expelled into the air. What little bit of Sulphur is left is expelled from the water as it sits in the aerator for a period of time. The well pump also is used for any irrigation that is needed. The house pump then pulls the aerated water from the aerator and supplies the house with water.
