Water Treatment in Eliot, Maine

Understanding Water Quality in Eliot

Eliot’s location along the Piscataqua River and its mix of historic homes, rural properties, and newer developments mean water quality can vary widely from one household to the next. Many Eliot residents rely on private wells, while others use public water systems—each with its own challenges.

Private wells in Eliot commonly contain naturally occurring contaminants such as arsenic, radon, and iron, all of which are invisible without proper testing. Municipal water, while treated, can still carry chlorine taste, mineral hardness, or aging infrastructure issues. At Fontus Water Treatment, our goal is to help Eliot homeowners truly understand their water—then treat it correctly.

How Fontus Tests Water in Eliot

We start with a free on-site water test designed to evaluate cosmetic and performance-related concerns like taste, odor, hardness, staining, and scaling.

If testing is needed for arsenic, radon, PFAS, or other regulated contaminants, Fontus coordinates analysis through a certified third-party laboratory to ensure accurate, compliant results.

This two-step approach ensures you get both immediate insight and laboratory-backed data—without confusion or pressure.
