Water Filtration Systems in Hiram, OH

Not all well water is created equal. Even if your water is safe, it may contain iron, sulfur, sediment, or hardness that affects taste, smell, and appliance performance. At Burrows Water Well Drilling & Service, we offer customized water filtration systems that improve the quality and safety of your water—no matter the source.



From residential homes to agricultural and commercial facilities, we help clients throughout Hiram, Portage County, and Northeast Ohio get cleaner, clearer water with professional filtration installation and maintenance.

Why Water Filtration Is Essential for Well Systems

Private wells tap into natural groundwater sources, which often contain minerals or contaminants such as:


  • Iron (causes rust stains and metallic taste)
  • Sulfur (creates a rotten egg odor)
  • Manganese (leaves black residue)
  • Hard water (leads to buildup and poor lathering)
  • Sediment (cloudy appearance, clogs pipes)
  • Bacteria or organic contaminants (health risk in some cases)

While these issues don’t always pose a health threat, they can lead to:


  • Damaged plumbing and appliances
  • Stained sinks, toilets, and laundry
  • Foul taste or smell
  • Reduced system efficiency
  • Increased maintenance costs

Our filtration systems are designed to treat your specific water conditions, resulting in better water—and peace of mind.

Custom Water Treatment Solutions

At Burrows, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every system we install is based on your actual water test results and property needs. We offer:

  • Iron Filters

    Remove iron and manganese to eliminate staining, metallic taste, and discoloration.

  • Sulfur Removal Systems

    Target hydrogen sulfide that causes rotten egg odor, especially in groundwater wells.

  • Water Softeners

    Reduce hardness and prevent scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and fixtures.

  • Sediment Filters

    Capture sand, silt, and other particulate matter before it reaches your home or business.

  • UV Disinfection Systems

    Use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses without chemicals—ideal for homes with coliform contamination or compromised wells.

  • Whole-House Filtration

    Point-of-entry systems that treat all incoming water for comprehensive protection and improved water quality throughout your home or facility.

FAQ – Water Filtration for Well Systems

  • How do I know what kind of filter I need?

    We start with water testing to identify minerals, contaminants, and pH levels. Based on your results, we recommend a targeted solution.

  • Can you test my water?

    Yes. We offer basic on-site testing and can help coordinate lab analysis if needed.

  • What’s the difference between a softener and a filter?

    Softeners reduce calcium and magnesium (hardness), while filters remove iron, sulfur, sediment, and other contaminants.

  • How often do filters need to be replaced?

    It depends on your system and water usage. Most filters need service or replacement every 6–12 months.

  • Do you service systems installed by other companies?

    Yes. We repair and maintain all major filtration brands, even if we didn’t install them.
