Cleaner, Safer, Water – Tailored to Your Home’s Needs
What Can a Specialty Water Filtration System Fix?
Not all water problems are the same — and not every home needs the same filtration system. At Kappus Well Pump & Water System Services, we offer a full range of customized water filtration solutions designed to fix the specific issues found in well water throughout Putnam, Dutchess, Westchester, and surrounding counties.
Whether you’re dealing with iron stains, hard water, acidic pH, tannins, sulfur odor, or sediment — we’ve got you covered with expert-installed, professionally configured systems that last.
We often see combinations of the following problems in local wells:
Iron & manganese (rust stains, metallic taste)
Hard water (soap scum, dry skin, scale buildup)
Low pH (acidic water that eats copper pipes)
Tannins (yellowish water, organic discoloration)
Sulfur odor (rotten egg smell)
Sediment & cloudiness
Bad taste & odors
Concerns about lead, nitrates, PFOS, VOC’s
heavy metals & more
Our Most Common Filtration Solutions
Iron Filters (Air-Injection Oxidizers)
Iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide (odor) are neutralized and filtered with a powerful air-induction system — no chemicals needed.
Removes iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide (sulfur gas)
Helps eliminate orange/brown staining in sinks, toilets, and laundry
No chemicals required — uses air injection + filter media
Great for water with metallic taste or rotten egg smell
Reduces need for bottled water due to taste improvement
Water Softeners (Ion Exchange Systems)
Combat hard water with salt-based softeners that remove calcium and magnesium.
Removes calcium and magnesium that cause hard water
Prevents scale buildup on appliances, plumbing, and fixtures
Soft water is gentler on skin, hair, and clothing
Increases soap and detergent efficiency
Extends lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines
pH Neutralizers
Raises low-pH (acidic) water to neutral, preventing corrosion in pipes and fixtures. A must-have for homes with copper plumbing.
• Raises acidic water (low pH) to neutral (around 7.0)
• Prevents copper pipe corrosion and green/blue stains
• Helps protect hot water heaters from internal damage
• Improves taste and clarity of water
• Often paired with iron or softening systems for full protection
Tannin Filters (Anion Exchange)
Clears yellow, tea-colored water from organic materials like decomposing leaves. Often needed in swampy or riverbed areas.
Removes yellow discoloration caused by organic materials
Ideal for wells near lakes, rivers, swamps, or wetlands
Uses anion exchange media designed to trap tannins
Prevents staining on laundry and plumbing fixtures
Typically combined with carbon or softener systems
Whole House Carbon Filters
Excellent for improving taste, odor, and clarity. Removes chlorine, VOCs, and many other chemicals. Great paired with other filtration systems.
• Improves taste, odor, and clarity
• Removes chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and some pesticides
• Available in automatic backwashing systems or cartridge style
• Often used as a polishing filter with other systems
• Low maintenance and great for general household use
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
Removes up to 99% of dissolved solids, including lead, nitrates, sodium, and chlorine. Ideal for drinking water and cooking. Available in under-sink of whole-house systems.
Removes up to 99% of dissolved solids from water
Filters out lead, arsenic, nitrates, sodium, and more
Ideal for drinking water and cooking
Compact under-sink systems or larger whole-home options
Includes multi-stage filtration with membrane, carbon, and sediment stages
Cartridge Filter Systems
Budget-friendly systems for sediment, chlorine, and particulates. Easy to maintain and great for homes with mild water issues or as a pre-filter.
• Simple and affordable for sediment or chlorine reduction
• Uses replaceable filters – standard or oversized housing
• Great as a pre-filter to protect larger treatment systems
• Helps with cloudy water, rust particles, or grit
• Easy homeowner maintenance and filter replacement
Professional Installation and Custom Configuration
We don’t install cookie-cutter systems. Every well is different, and so is every home.
That’s why we always start with:
On-site water testing
System sizing based on household use
Expert configuration for your specific problem
We use only professional-grade valves, bypasses, and plumbing connections —
not the plastic parts sold in big-box DIY kits.
And our systems are installed to be serviceable, upgradable, and built to last.
Already have a filtration system?
We offer service, repairs, and upgrades for most major brands — including Clack, Fleck, Pentair, Charger Water, and more. If your water still doesn’t taste right, let us evaluate and fix it.
Get the Right Water Treatment – Without the Guesswork
If you’re unsure what filtration system you need, start with a professional on-site water test. We’ll walk you through the results and explain exactly what’s going on — and what it will take to fix it right.
