Do you need prevention in Largo?

With Largo's reclaimed system covering a small share of homes, many properties here rely on wells for irrigation. If yours does and the orange keeps coming back after cleaning, prevention is what stops the cycle. We test the water first, then set the system up around your watering days and times.

Prevention is for properties that irrigate with iron-rich water, usually from a private shallow well. If your water doesn't need treatment, we'll tell you. Signs that it does:

  • Orange stains come back after cleaning, in the same spots
  • Your sprinklers run from a private well
  • The staining lines up with your spray pattern

How a prevention system works

A tank holds a rust-control solution. An electric injection pump, connected to your irrigation supply, feeds a measured amount into the water every time the sprinklers run. The treatment keeps the dissolved iron from oxidizing on your fences, walks and walls, so new orange stains don't form.
