Homes
Most homes have one well or irrigation pump feeding several zones. A system at that pump treats the water before it reaches your zones.
How prevention works
Tampa Bay + Southwest Florida
We test your water, install a tank and injection system on your irrigation, and set it up around your watering schedule.
A rust prevention installation includes a free water test, a solution tank and an electric injection pump placed by your well or irrigation pump, the connection to your irrigation line, and dosing set to your watering days and times. After that, we refill and check it every month.
We test your irrigation water for iron, for free, and tell you honestly whether a system is worth it.
We look at your well or irrigation pump, the controller, power nearby, and where the system can sit.
You give us your sprinkler watering days and times. The dosing is set around them.
We place the tank and pump, connect to the irrigation supply, and set the dosing.
We refill and check the system every month, and come back early if a broken line empties the tank.
Which days your sprinklers run, what time, and roughly how long. This is what the dosing is built on.
We need to get to the well pump, irrigation controller and the spot where the system will sit.
If you change your watering schedule or a line breaks, tell us. Both change how the system needs to be set.

How prevention works
Larger properties can have several pumps, supply points or irrigation zones. We plan treatment around the whole system, then keep every unit on one monthly refill schedule.
HOA and commercial rust controlIf your current system isn't keeping up, we'll check the pump and dosing against your watering schedule and put it on our monthly refill schedule.
[Rust Busters was] a lifesaver!! I did a big landscaping project for my animal hospital and the irrigation that was installed caused iron staining all over my property. Luckily, [they were] able to remove all the staining and install a system into my well so the iron could be contained, preventing any future staining! [They were] very professional … and incredibly kind to my entire staff. Would highly recommend working with this company!!! They also have great, affordable pricing.
I have had the opportunity to work with [Rust Busters] and collaborate with [them] on many projects. Friendly, courteous, and dependable. So much of Florida water has a rust problem coming through irrigation systems that creates an eyesore for the owner. After installing new paver driveways for people, no one wants to see rust on their pavers and so we refer [Rust Busters].
[Rust Busters was] very accommodating. The service and [their] workmanship is a 5 star. I highly recommend [them].

A short owner's checklist, the changes to tell us about, and what not to touch.

Usually beside the well pump or irrigation equipment, where it can connect to the irrigation line. We'll look at your setup and pick the spot.
The injection pump is electric and runs when your irrigation runs, so it needs a power source near the equipment. We check this during the estimate.
Your sprinkler watering days and times, and access to the well pump and irrigation area.
We refill and check the system every month. If a broken line or a schedule change empties the tank early, we come back early.
Yes. Larger properties often have several irrigation zones or pumps, and we plan the system around how the irrigation actually runs.
Start with a free water test. We'll tell you whether a system makes sense and what installation involves for your property.
