Microbes

As is the case with hydrogen sulfide, microbiological water results from decaying organic matter. Microorganisms enter the water supply through dead plants and animals, as well as sewage. 

Microbiological water produces bacteria that are easily eliminated at water treatment facilities, but not as easily with well water, especially since the bacteria can’t be seen or smelled. Microorganisms must be found through lab testing. 

If algae is the microorganism causing contamination, your water will smell fishy and musty. However, small levels of microbiological water can be removed using a water filtration system. Contact us today to get started.
