Residential Septic Systems

Residential Septic Systems

"It is important to remember that what you see on the surface is not always what is going on under the ground."

As septic systems age, the effluent can work its way through this shallow depth and enter directly into fissures in the bedrock.

A septic system is out of site, and therefore quite often forgotten.

Ultraviolet (UV) vs Reverse Osmosis (RO)

Ultraviolet (UV) vs Reverse Osmosis (RO)

"There are many common misconceptions about which water treatment equipment is best-suited to treat various contaminants."

The incoming water should be tested prior to the installation of a UV system or Reverse Osmosis drinking water system.

Understanding what each system can treat and how it works is important when considering drinking water equipment.

Granular vs Block Carbon Water Filters

Granular vs Block Carbon Water Filters

"Carbon based filters are essential for removing organic compounds, tastes and odours from water."

Carbon filters remove contaminants through adsorption and require replacement.

Thanks to their larger surface area, carbon block filters have a better contaminant removal capacity than GAC filters.

What are Total Dissolved Solids?

What are Total Dissolved Solids?

"Water is commonly known as the universal solvent, particles of soluble materials are absorbed into the water."

TDS refers to the amount of minerals, metals, organic material and salts that are dissolved in a certain water volume that is expressed in mg/L or parts per million (ppm)

Conducting a TDS test is a good practice to ensure the safety of water or verify proper equipment operation.

Water in Rural Subdivisions

Water in Rural Subdivisions

"Areas with >40 septic systems per square mile are areas at high risk of groundwater contamination"

Rural communities across the country consist of residences in close proximity to each other, commonly known as a “hamlet”. These “hamlet’s” often do not have municipal water and sewer services.

Water quality is often overlooked as assumptions are made for the distances from well to septic systems.

Nitrates in Drinking Water

Nitrates in Drinking Water

"Nitrate is an invisible, colourless & tasteless water contaminant that goes undetected unless specifically sampled for."

Nitrates are compounds that occur naturally within the earth but are found in elevated levels in agricultural communities and rural towns. While they do not present any taste or odor, drinking elevated levels of nitrates can cause illness in both humans and in livestock.

Without a proper test, it is not possible to know if this contaminant is present in a water supply.

Well Water Quality

Well Water Quality

"Ground water can become contaminated by many of the same pollutants that contaminate surface water."

A drilled well is a mainstay for many Canadians, with 30 percent of residents, or nine million residents, within Canada obtaining their water from a ground water source. Approximately 15 percent of this water is within rural areas and some parts of the country rely on ground water exclusively. 

A water sample should be taken for comparison against the Canadian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines.
