Well Water Filtration

There are several important factors to consider when preparing to filter the water from your well. Here are a few things to think about before purchasing any water filter device:

1. There are no wells that are the same. No single water treatment device or filter will treat every type of well. A viable water treatment company will offer many different types of well water filters to suit your specific needs.  IN MANY CASES, YOU WILL FIND A DEALER WILL OFFER THE SAME PRODUCTS FOR MUNICIPAL WATER AND WELL WATER SUPPLIES.  BEWARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND PRODUCTS ARE GOING TO BE VERY LIMITED.

2. Well Water Testing. Get a sample of your well water right from the source. Have your well water tested thoroughly by qualified well water testing engineer.

    E. pH

    F. Alkalinity 

    G. Chloride (ppm) 

    H. TDS (ppm) 

    I. Oil 

    J. Bacterial Iron

    K. Langelier Satisfaction Index 

    L. Nitrate (ppm) 

    M. Color and Clarity    

3.Your well water quality may not be consistent. Typically, a shallow well will display inconsistent readings throughout the year depending on rainfall amounts, surface water runoff etc. When considering a well water filter, it is highly, recommended taking the depth of your well into consideration and what type of industry is around you (dairy, farms, creeks, etc.) If it is shallow (less than 100 ft) or there are areas with livestock (nitrate contamination) it is recommended to use a well water filter that will take care of any of these issues that could possibly develop.  This will assure you of excellent quality water coming into your home year round. If you are on a large piece of property, your well may be fine for irrigation, but may require a well water filter for your home or livestock. 

5. Have your water engineer provide you with well water test results and recommend a well water filter that will meet your specific needs. Remember, every well is different and you need to be certain the well water filter will remedy your requirements and it's not simply a "water conditioner" that will cure everything. A knowledgeable well water technician is essential in making recommendations for well water.
