Total Wells Pumps and Filtration — Service Summary - Lake Stevens, WA
Total Wells Pumps and Filtration provides specialized water system services focused on private wells, rural properties, and light commercial applications throughout Snohomish County and King County, Washington. The company operates at the intersection of water production, system performance, and water quality, delivering complete solutions rather than isolated product installations.
Core Service Philosophy
The foundation of Total Wells’ approach is that a water system must be treated as an integrated system—not a collection of parts. Every component, from the well itself to final point-of-entry treatment, directly impacts performance, reliability, and water safety.
This philosophy drives a service model centered on:
full-system diagnostics
proper system design and sizing
long-term reliability
real-world operating conditions, not theoretical performance
Well Pump Systems and Water Production
Total Wells specializes in the installation, replacement, and service of submersible well pumps and related components.
Services include:
complete pump diagnostics and failure analysis
submersible pump replacement and system upgrades
drop pipe, motor wire, and splice integrity evaluation
control box and electrical system troubleshooting
flow rate and recovery evaluation
The focus is not just restoring water, but ensuring the system is operating within proper electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical parameters.
Water Storage and Pressure Systems
For properties with low-yield wells or variable production, Total Wells designs and installs water storage and booster pump systems.
These systems are engineered to:
stabilize water availability
optimize well recovery cycles
maintain consistent pressure throughout the home
prevent overdraw and premature pump failure
This is particularly critical in rural and hillside environments where well production may fluctuate seasonally.
Water Filtration and Treatment Systems
Total Wells designs and installs complete water filtration systems tailored to the specific water chemistry of each site.
Filtration services include:
sediment filtration (including high-flow prefiltration systems)
iron and manganese removal
hardness treatment
pH correction
activated carbon filtration for taste and odor
All systems are configured as part of a treatment chain, not standalone units, ensuring each stage supports the next.
Ultraviolet (UV) Water Disinfection — Polar UV Systems
Total Wells integrates Polar UV Water Filtration and Purification systems as a final-stage disinfection method for whole-home protection.
UV systems are implemented to:
neutralize bacteria and microorganisms
provide chemical-free disinfection
operate continuously at the point of entry
Critically, Total Wells emphasizes that UV systems are only effective when properly integrated, which requires:
correct flow rate matching
adequate prefiltration (typically 5-micron or better)
proper installation location within the system
This ensures UV is functioning as a true final barrier, not a compromised add-on.
Well Rehabilitation and System Restoration
For aging wells or declining production, Total Wells provides rehabilitation services aimed at restoring performance.
This may include:
chemical treatment for mineral buildup (iron, scale, biofouling)
system recalibration for changing yield conditions
inspection and evaluation of well integrity
The goal is to extend the life of the existing well where feasible before recommending replacement.
Wellhead and System Integrity Upgrades
Total Wells addresses above-ground vulnerabilities that can impact water quality and system longevity.
Services include:
wellhead sealing and structural improvements
replacement of outdated or compromised junction boxes
installation of properly protected electrical connections
mitigation of contamination risks at the surface level
These upgrades are critical in preventing bacterial intrusion and environmental contamination.
Diagnostic and Testing Services
A major component of Total Wells’ service model is establishing a clear baseline of system performance and water quality.
This includes:
flow testing
pump performance monitoring
pre- and post-filtration water sampling
system-wide diagnostic evaluations
This data-driven approach ensures that recommendations are based on actual conditions rather than assumptions.
System Design and Project Oversight
Total Wells provides system design and implementation for both new construction and retrofit applications.
This includes:
complete system layout and specification
coordination of pump, storage, filtration, and disinfection components
compliance with applicable codes and standards (including NEC 2020 where applicable)
installation oversight and final system commissioning
The emphasis is on building systems that are reliable, serviceable, and scalable.
Service Coverage and Application
Total Wells serves a wide range of environments, including:
rural residential properties
custom home construction
properties with limited or variable well production
light commercial and small community water systems
The company is particularly focused on areas where municipal water is not available and system performance is critical.
Conclusion
Total Wells Pumps and Filtration delivers comprehensive water system solutions that go far beyond basic pump replacement or filtration installs. By combining technical expertise, system-level design, and real-world field experience, the company provides reliable water production, effective treatment, and long-term system performance for private well users.
