PFAS in Drinking Water

PFAS in Drinking Water

"PFAS are not natural water contaminants. They are human made."

With origins dating back to the 1940’s, this group of chemicals has been used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. 

Based on recent publications, it is reasonable to say that they can be found in all water sources in Canada.

The Rural Water Paradigm

The Rural Water Paradigm

"In Canada, individuals who are not supplied with a municipal water source are left to decide what quality of water is acceptable for their residences."

The standard bacteriological test, while important, is not sufficient in indicating all contaminants in a water source.

It is considered reasonable to say that all water sources in Canada have some level of water contamination, no matter how remote.

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.

What is Hiding in Your Water?

What is Hiding in Your Water?

"The reality is that it is not possible to know all contaminants in a water source at any given time."

Looking at a glass of water, you may assume it’s safe, pure and free from harmful substances. However, new studies and publications are identifying water contamination in rural and urban water supplies at an alarming rate. These findings have been found throughout Canada as more study and testing is conducted.

Consider contaminants which have been identified in water sources across the country.

Water Education - Pitcher Filters

Water Education - Pitcher Filters

"It is a common assumption that the pitcher filter is a “catch all drinking water system which removes everything from water"

Before you use any filtration system, ensure that it is applicable for the water source you are putting into the reservoir. Many people use these devices on water that it was never designated for and are then disappointed in the results or are left with a sense of water quality that is generally incorrect.  

As more contaminants are identified, the quality of drinking water should be a priority for every individual.

Emerging Drinking Water Risks

Emerging Drinking Water Risks

"There are far too many contaminants to effectively regulate, test and provide 100% safe drinking water from every tap."

As there is an increase in conducted research, new findings are becoming apparent regarding the potential for new or emerging contaminants in water posing risk to human health. No one really knows what actually lies in our drinking water, and no single test exists to test for every possible contaminant. 

It is impossible to know exactly what is in a water source at any given time.

Country Water Education

Country Water Education

"Water is a “universal solvent” meaning it picks up just about anything it comes into contact with."

The average Canadian citizen is not aware of the potential risks to water quality outside of city limits where little regulation and testing are conducted. This is where the role of proper water treatment equipment is crucial.

In the country, you are responsible for your own water.
