Well Maintenance System

 

STI has been providing well rehabilitation services for the past 18 years. During that period we have treated more than 5000 wells and have come to believe that it is far better to maintain yield and efficiencies than to try to recover them. This experience has led to the development of Aqua Gard™ Preventative Well Maintenance Systems, where proactive rather than reactive cleaning has proved to be more efficient and much more economical for the client. Because well and geological formation surfaces are kept clean, raw water quality is improved.

The Aqua Gard™ system includes the placement of energy injection equipment permanently installed with the pump in place, thereby allowing for the regularly scheduled, routine, preventative service to the well without removing the pump. Local raw water quality, specific well operation and historical rate of well plugging will determine the intervals between services. Aqua Gard™ is ideal for new well installation or for installation following a major well rehabilitation effort. Wells that experience severe and rapid fouling recognize a financial and efficiency benefit from the onset.

The Aqua Gard™ system is ideal for:
• Screened wells
• Open hole wells
• Vertical
• Horizontal
• Collector wells
• Injection wells
• Environmental recovery wells.

A well equipped and serviced with Aqua Gard™ will:
• Produce more consistent yields
• Significantly reduce electric cost
• Increase the life of the well
• Reduce well cleaning cost
• Improve Water quality

Aqua Gard™ is the latest product in our line of innovative technologies. The Aqua Gard™ system is for preventative well maintenance. Aqua Gard™ inhibits well plugging and the resulting lost well capacity. Aqua Gard™ incorporates the permanent placement of energy injection equipment installed in the well alongside the well pump allowing wells to be effectively maintained without removing the pump. A scheduled periodic cleaning service is performed usually in 1 day, reducing down time and cost while insuring that the well surfaces are kept clean for improved water quality and increased flow and capacity.

Aqua Gard™ Benefits:

  • Improved Well Performance
  • Lower Cost for Well Maintenance
  • No Need to Pull the Pump
  • Reduced Energy Costs
  • Maintains Well Production
  • Keep Surfaces Clean
  • Less Unsafe Bacterial Samples
  • Increases the Life of the Well
  • Maintains Pore Volume in the Well and Aquifier
