Domestic Private Water Supplies
Although the water we drink may look clean and clear it may not always be what it appears. Groundwater from spring supplies and boreholes in its natural state is generally of excellent quality, as the rocks act as a natural water filter bed. However, as the water percolates through the ground into the aquifer, the dissolution of minerals continues to increase and in some instances resulting in high concentrations of nitrates, pesticides, iron, manganese, calcium and other minerals, hence the need for Private Water Supply Treatment filters to eliminate these impurities.

Water supplies fall into two main categories: Mains Water which is supplied by a local water company such as United Utilities / Yorkshire Water ect, and Private Water Supplies which are supplied by wells, boreholes, springs, streams, rivers or lakes on your property.  

Private Water Supplies
If you have a Private Water Supply - such as a Spring or Borehole, it will be necessary to provide us with a current up to date water analysis detailing the chemical and bacteriological content, together with details of your pumping equipment so that we can select the most efficient water treatment system, which will meet current water regulations. 

In the event that you do not have a current up to date water analysis we would be pleased to attend site, take samples, carry out a small survey of your existing pumping / water treatment equipment and then interpret the results and submit our recommendations.
 
The Main Concerns with Water Supplies
Hardness and lime scale – install a Water Softener Conditioner which remove limescale and softens the water.
Unpleasant taste and odour – install a Carbon Filter to remove chlorine, colour and bad smells.
Bacteria – install a Ultraviolet Water Disinfection System. The UV filter destroys bacteria providing a bacteria free water supply.
Iron and Manganese – for iron problems we recommend to install an Iron Removal Filter. Our ecomix water conditioners will reduce iron and manganese levels whilst softening the water.
Aggressive or acidic water with a low pH – install a pH correction filter, the signs are the formation of green or blue stains around plug holes and taps due to the acidic water attacking the copper pipework and hot water cylinders.
Turbid Discoloured Water – install a self-back-washing turbidity filter with special media.

We have many types of Private Water Supply treatment filters to treat all types of problems, so please contact us for advice on Private Water Supply Treatment that will treat your specific water treatment requirements.
