Polk County Water Testing & Pesticide Filtration – AOK Water Services

You can’t see it.

You can’t smell it.

However, that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

In Polk County, where farming is part of daily life, pesticide runoff is a significant concern for families using well water and those on city water systems.

After a good Florida rain, chemicals sprayed on crops like citrus, strawberries, and corn often run off into the groundwater.

Those pesticides don’t just disappear.

They can end up in the water you drink, cook with, bathe in, and give to your kids.

Some of the most common chemicals we find in Polk County water include:

  • Atrazine – linked to hormone disruption
  • Glyphosate (Roundup) – a known weed killer and suspected carcinogen
  • 2,4-D – a herbicide that’s especially risky for children

If your water smells strange, tastes off, or leaves your skin dry and itchy, it could be more than just hard water—it might be a sign of chemical contamination.

We’re AOK Water Services, and we’ve helped families in Lakeland, Bartow, Lake Wales, Frostproof, and Haines City take control of their water.

We don’t do guesswork. We test. We treat. We protect.

And as a local, family-owned business, we care about your home like it’s our own.
