Autotrol Well Contaminant & Health System
remove arsenic and nitrate health risks — one matched Autotrol build.
Living with well water that stains your fixtures, leaves unpleasant odors, and corrodes pipes is more than a nuisance—it's a daily source of frustration and health concern. The invisible threats of arsenic and nitrates lurk silently in your water, posing risks that no family should ignore. Every glass you pour and every shower you take can carry hidden contaminants from farm runoff or deep underground deposits. Instead of living with uncertainty, you need a system that not only cleans but protects, ensuring your home’s water is safe, clear, and reliable.
The matched package
The Autotrol Well Contaminant & Health System is engineered to deliver comprehensive well water treatment through a precisely matched multi-stage approach. Each stage in this package is built on the same trusted Autotrol Logix control valve platform, synchronizing performance and simplifying operation. Starting with a sediment pre-filter to halt sand and grit before it damages your pump, the system moves through specialized stages that target both arsenic and nitrate contaminants directly linked to serious health issues. Optional under-sink reverse osmosis units further refine your drinking water to bottled-quality purity, completing the protection right at the faucet. This all-in-one, single-brand design guarantees compatibility, ease of servicing, and peace of mind for well owners facing stubborn water challenges.
| Stage | What it handles | Autotrol hardware |
|---|---|---|
| Sediment pre-filter | Removes well pump sand and grit | Autotrol Logix control valve |
| Arsenic system | Binds Arsenic III & V | Autotrol Logix control valve |
| Nitrate-selective system | Reduces nitrate from farm and septic wells | Autotrol Logix control valve |
| Under-sink reverse osmosis add-on | Bottled-quality drinking water | Autotrol Logix control valve |
Every stage, explained
Sediment pre-filter: This crucial first step acts as a shield for your entire well system. By removing sand, grit, and other sediment particles before they reach your pump and downstream equipment, it protects pumps from wear and prevents premature clogging or damage. This pre-filter extends the life of your system and maintains smooth water flow throughout your home, stopping abrasive particles at the source.
Arsenic system: Arsenic contamination is a serious health hazard, often undetectable by smell or taste. This stage uses specialized media to bind both Arsenic III and V forms tightly, removing them from your water supply. Designed specifically for well water challenges, it targets the invisible toxin that can cause long-term health issues. By including this stage, the system ensures that what reaches your taps is arsenic-free, safe for every member of your family.
Nitrate-selective system: Nitrates often come from agricultural runoff or septic systems, particularly in rural areas. Elevated nitrate levels pose significant health risks, especially for infants and pregnant women. This selective stage reduces nitrates efficiently without compromising water quality, making it ideal for wells affected by farming or nearby septic contamination. By specifically targeting nitrates, it protects your household from this common but dangerous pollutant.
Under-sink reverse osmosis add-on: For those seeking the highest level of drinking water purity, the reverse osmosis add-on is the perfect complement. Installed conveniently under your sink, it filters water down to impurities as small as dissolved salts and microscopic particles, delivering bottled-quality water directly to your glass. This stage is optional but recommended for anyone wanting crystal-clear, great-tasting water free of contaminants unsuitable for general filtration.
Why the install order matters
Correct installation order isn’t just technical—it’s the backbone of reliable treatment. First, any low pH water must be neutralized to protect plumbing and downstream media. Next, iron and sulfur compounds are removed so they don’t foul the softener resin. Softening then takes care of hardness to prevent scale buildup. Disinfection or ultraviolet treatment follows to kill bacteria before the water reaches your taps. The reverse osmosis system is installed last, polishing your water to bottled-quality purity. This careful sequence ensures every stage works efficiently without damage or interference, providing consistent, safe water every time.
Why one brand
Using the same Autotrol Logix control valves on every stage means you get a streamlined experience from setup to ongoing maintenance. One brand creates one unified control platform, eliminating the guesswork of managing different systems with separate programming. Common parts and service procedures mean fewer headaches and faster repairs if needed. This matched approach guarantees compatibility and reliability, delivering a system that communicates seamlessly and performs flawlessly as a cohesive unit.

Common questions
Q? How do I know if my water has arsenic or nitrate problems?
A: Testing your well water is the only way to be sure. Both arsenic and nitrate are odorless and tasteless, so lab analysis is essential to detect unsafe levels and tailor treatment precisely.
Q? Can I install this system myself?
A: While the package arrives ready to install, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct setup, proper sequencing, and compliance with local codes for optimal performance and safety.
Q? Will this system remove all contaminants?
A: This package is designed specifically to address sediment, arsenic, and nitrate issues common to wells. Adding the reverse osmosis stage enhances drinking water purity, but other contaminants may require additional treatment based on your water test.
