About Us

Who We Are
SeptiWellGuide is a free website that helps homeowners understand septic tanks, private wells, and hard water. We build simple calculators and write step-by-step guides in plain language, so you can plan with confidence and know what to ask a local professional.
Why We Started
Septic, well, and water-treatment decisions are expensive, and most information online is full of jargon or buried behind sales pitches. We wanted one place where you can get a clear planning estimate in under a minute, with no signup and no cost.
What You’ll Find Here
Free tools
- Septic Tank Size Calculator: estimate tank size by bedrooms, occupants, and soil
- Water Softener Size Calculator: size a softener for your household and water hardness
- Well Pump Size Estimator: estimate pump size from your home and water needs
- Hardness Converter: convert between grains, ppm, and mg/L
- Septic Pumping Interval Estimator: estimate how often to pump your tank
Easy guides
Our blog covers septic tank sizing, pumping and maintenance, water softeners and hard water, well pump sizing, and well water testing.
How We Work
- Plain language. We explain terms and steps without assuming you are an expert.
- Transparent methods. Our calculators show the method behind each result, such as common bedroom-based tank minimums and design flow rates.
- No signup. You can use every tool and read every guide without creating an account.
- Kept up to date. We review and update our content as we learn and as readers point out improvements.
Important Note
Everything on this site is a planning estimate, not professional advice. Results vary with local codes, soil, water conditions, and your home. Always check your local rules and talk to a qualified local professional before you buy, build, or change a septic, well, or water system. Read our Disclaimer for details.
