Yes, you do. When you have a private water supply, you’re responsible for making sure it’s safe to drink and bacteria-free. The Government of Canada recommends testing for E. coli bacteria every six months and a full well water test every two years.
It’s important to test your own well: even if the neighbour’s next door is clear, yours can have very different properties. We can help determine the quality of water in your well and what kind of filtration you might need with a free in-home test by one of our Air and Water Care Water Sales Consultants.
Well water filters can help remedy problems in your water like taste, odours from sulfur or tannins, colour, iron stains, bacteria, hard water, and contaminants. Based on your water test results, you may need any of these well water treatment systems to improve your water:
Well water gets “hard” when organic matter and minerals dissolve in the groundwater. A water softener can reduce the buildup of scale and deposits in your appliances. Learn more.
Naturally occurring elements such as iron, sulphur and manganese can cause your water to smell like blood, rotten eggs or burnt matches, or leave red or yellow stains in sinks, tubs and toilets. These contaminants should be removed.
Tannins are typically found in surface water or shallow wells and are caused by water passing through peaty areas or decaying vegetation. They can turn water brown and give it an odd taste and odour but don’t represent a health risk.
UV light disrupts the DNA of bacteria so they can’t reproduce. It’s increasingly popular because it doesn’t use chemicals — though it does require water to be filtered using a five-micron sediment filter first
This method removes contaminants by pushing water under pressure through a semi-permeable membrane. It can remove up to 99.5% of dissolved particles and is most commonly installed in kitchens for cooking and drinking
