Aqua Freed® Well Rehabilitation
Restore Lost Well Capacity. Without Harsh Chemicals.
Groundwater wells naturally lose efficiency over time as minerals, biofilms, and biological fouling accumulate in and around the well. The result is reduced flow, increased operating costs, declining water quality, and ultimately the need for costly rehabilitation—or replacement.
Aqua Freed® is an innovative well rehabilitation technology that restores lost capacity by utilizing the energy released during the controlled phase transformation of carbon dioxide, helping water utilities and well owners recover performance without relying on hazardous chemical treatments
Delaying maintenance can lead to permanent capacity loss that becomes increasingly difficult and expensive to recover.

Many groundwater wells are managed reactively—maintenance isn’t performed until declining production becomes a problem. By that point, mineral encrustation, biofilms, and other deposits may have already reduced efficiency, flow rates, and long-term well performance.
Common signs your well may need rehabilitation:
- Declining specific capacity
- Reduced pumping efficiency
- Lower flow rates
- Increased energy costs
- Frequent maintenance requirements
- Biological fouling and mineral buildup
- Water quality concerns
Studies discussed in our industry experience indicate that delaying maintenance can lead to permanent capacity loss that becomes increasingly difficult and expensive to recover.
Why Aqua Freed® Is Different
Traditional rehabilitation methods often depend on strong acids, bases, or other chemical treatments combined with mechanical cleaning. Aqua Freed® takes a different approach.
Using a controlled treatment process, Aqua Freed® injects carbon dioxide into the well and surrounding formation. As the carbon dioxide transitions from liquid to gas, it rapidly expands and releases energy that loosens and detaches mineral deposits, biofilms, and fouling materials from the well environment. A mild carbonic acid solution also helps dissolve scale and buildup.
Key Advantages
Environmentally Responsible Uses naturally occurring carbon dioxide and eliminates the need for hazardous acids and chemicals commonly associated with conventional rehabilitation methods.
Exceptional Formation Penetration Delivers energy beyond the well screen and into the surrounding formation, helping address fouling where it occurs.
Proven Performance Recovery Designed to restore lost well capacity, improve efficiency, and recover flow that has been reduced by mineral and biological fouling.
Cost-Effective Alternative By extending treatment effectiveness and reducing disposal concerns associated with chemicals, Aqua Freed® can provide significant economic benefits.
Versatile Across Well Types Applicable for municipal water supply wells, environmental wells, monitoring wells, recovery wells, screened wells, and open-hole wells.
