Well Water Treatment Systems

Congratulations on owning your own private water supply, a well of your very own! 

    Now comes the fun part, ask yourself this, what exactly is dissolved in the water coming out of my well and better yet can it harm me and how can I find out.

    Often times we hear clients saying that when they purchased the property, they were required to get a test done and nearly 100% of the time the test that is performed is a test for bacteria and never about the chemistry of the water. While the bacteria test is very important equally important is to do a detailed chemical analysis of all the minerals and chemicals that are found in your well water. To do this analysis a sample will need to be collected and submitted to a certified laboratory. 

    You can either go to www.watercheck.com and order a test kit and do the collection and submission or we can come out and collect and submit the sample for you. Once the results are in then your water treatment specialist can analysis the results and make recommendation on what type of equipment is needed in order to correct your water to a level that the client desires. 

    At a bare minimum the well water will need some type of protection from bacteria. Even if the well has tested negative in the past there is always the possibility that a contaminate could enter the system and you would never know until someone becomes very ill and has to go to the Doctor’s, Emergency Room or even the Hospital, call the minimum treatment your water well insurance policy. 

    Next up really depends on what the water analysis report uncovers, does your water have high concentrations of Iron, Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Chloride, Nitrate, Lead or even Arsenic just to name a few. Just how hard is your water or salty. just what is your pH level (which measure just how basic or acidic the water is) and what is the Total Dissolved Salts (TDS) coming from your well. With this information only then can intelligent recommendations be made on how best to correct your water quality issues. 

    A typical system here in South Texas from our experience will require a Sand Separator which does what it says, it reduces the amount of sand from the incoming water supply and protects the equipment, pressure tank and pipes from filling up with sand over time. Next could be several different pieces of equipment depend once more on what the water analysis uncovered, from an Ultra-Filtration sediment filter, Water Softener, Carbon Filtration System, Chemical Injection System, Whole House Reverse Osmosis System with a storage tank and re-pressurization pump. And of course, even will all of this equipment you still will need some type of disinfection or sterilization equipment, back to the mentioned insurance policy. 

    I hope that you can now see that owning a well can be a little on the daunting side but that is where Filtration Station Inc comes in, we are here to help guide you into getting the water you and your family deserve.
