Your Water Shouldn’t Bubble Like Soda.

Methane Gas in Water? Here’s What To Do About It

Methane in water can be flammable and dangerous. A Clear Alternative helps New Jersey homeowners detect and eliminate methane from private wells and groundwater sources safely.

What Is Methane in Water?

Methane is a naturally occurring, odorless gas that can dissolve into well water. When released, it can create flammable air pockets—posing a serious risk to homes and health.

Methane gas is a common water issue, and becoming more prevalent in recent years. It is never a good idea to have gas in your well water, but some are worse than others. Most notably, Sulphur and Methane gasses are most concerning because they have the potential to cause the most damage. Both have flammability characteristics- which is a big concern, but also related problems include plumbing damage and degradation, faucets, and fixture damage, not to mention odors as well!

We have a high-quality, highly efficient way to ‘de-gas’ your well water. We use a specially designed aeration tank to liberate the offensive gasses and safely vent the outdoors. Our system is also designed to protect your water and maintain sanitary quality. Many people find that their household pressure and flow are actually better after we install this type of system!

⚠️ Why it's a problem

  • Creates explosive hazards in enclosed spaces

  • May cause bubbling or fizzy water

  • Can lead to poor taste and odor when present with other gases

  • Indicates potential contamination or geological shifts

We’re here to help you make the right choice for your home.

Whether you're curious about how our systems work, what’s in your water, or what happens after installation—we’ve got answers to the most common questions our customers ask.

How do I know if I need a water treatment system?

If you notice odd tastes, odors, stains, or cloudy water—or just want peace of mind—it's worth testing your water. We offer free water testing to identify the best solution.

What types of contaminants can your systems remove?

Our systems are designed to reduce or eliminate chlorine, hardness, iron, bacteria, PFAS, nitrates, and more.

Do I need a whole-home system or just drinking water filtration?

That depends on your needs. We offer both whole-home solutions and point-of-use options like reverse osmosis.

Is installation included, and how long does it take?

Yes! Professional installation is included. Most systems can be installed in just a few hours.

What maintenance is required?

We design our systems to be low-maintenance, and we offer service plans so you don’t have to worry about upkeep.

What’s the difference between softening and filtration?

Softening removes minerals that cause hardness and scale (like calcium and magnesium), while filtration targets contaminants like chlorine, sediment, iron, and VOCs. Many homes use a combination of both. See our residential solutions.

Is my water safe to drink?

Municipal water is treated, but often still contains chlorine, byproducts, or trace contaminants like PFAS. Well water is unregulated and varies by region. Best way to be 100% sure you're drinking safe, clean water is to get a water test done and have proper filtration system in place.
