Irrigation rust in Safety Harbor
Safety Harbor sits on the west shore of Old Tampa Bay, known for its historic Main Street, the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa with its mineral springs, and Philippe Park.
Iron staining in Safety Harbor comes from the same place it does across Pinellas: groundwater pumped by private shallow irrigation wells. Homes near downtown and the bay that run sprinklers from a well are the ones that see it. If you're not sure what your sprinklers use, we'll test the water for free.

What our customers say
[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].
