Is your well water giving you grief? Are you unhappy with the safety, taste, smell, discolouration or staining caused by your well water and need to know how and where to start to fix it?. You’ve likely heard of water softeners, iron filters, UV systems and even RO’s but what do all of these things do, where are they installed and what order do they go? Do you really need all of these for your family?
Basically, we clean up the water to remove the dirt, color and impurities so your water won’t stain your fixtures and then we disinfect it so it’s safe for your family.
A Spindown filter is used for very coarse filtration. These use centrifugal force when the tap at the bottom is opened to flush out the debris. You would need to manually open the valve at the bottom periodically, usually once a week or more often if a lot of dirt is present, so they aren’t an automatic system.

Filter housings with a coarse sediment filter to do the pre filtering. If the dirt amount isn’t too bad, and usually from a well it isn’t, you could use one of these to prefilter your water before any water filtration equipment like an iron filter or water softener to protect the equipment by keeping the dirt out. The filter element will need to be changed at least once a year or more frequently if they become clogged. Sediment Filter video https://youtu.be/ak5o479A–o
Our HUM Automatic backwashing sediment filter is used when you have so much dirt in your water that you’re constantly replacing sediment filters. These are great because the dirt accumulates inside while you’re using your water and then every 4 days or so they back wash to flush out all of the debris, automatically. Makes life easier for you, no filters to change and no chemicals are involved. Automatic backwashing filter video here https://youtu.be/CYnYoiVj03k
If you have iron and or sulphur in your water, you’ll need one of our HUM FOB, FOC or FOK iron and sulphur filters. These oxidize the iron and sulphur out of your water, trap it inside and clean themselves every few days to flush out the debris. Once again, no filters to change and no chemicals to add.

If your water is hard, a water softener comes next. How does a water softener work video https://youtu.be/udmE-hhh084
If you’ve brown water caused by tannins, this is where the tannin filter goes. After the iron and hardness have been removed. Tannin filter here https://youtu.be/7he5dEdj_Dw
By now, we’ve cleaned up the water and removed anything that would stain any surfaces, so we need to disinfect your water to make sure that it is safe and bacteria free for your family. For this we need an Ultraviolet Disinfection system, also know as a UV. UV video is here https://youtu.be/723XDGMP-28
To remove excessive minerals from your water, like sodium (if present) and create a second barrier from bacteria you would add a Reverse Osmosis drinking water system. How does RO work video here https://youtu.be/Quy_Mg87Tsk
So what do you need in well water filtration for your family? We would be happy to make a recommendation, but we need to know some information before we can help you. We need to know your water chemistry, in other words how hard your water is and iron content and a few other parameters. If you don’t have a lab report, you can always mail us a water sample for FREE testing to:
Water Store, 1004 King Street, Midland, Ontario L4R 0B8. We offer FREE Testing.
Once you have your water chemistry, we have this convenient form for you to fill out, then scan or take a picture with your phone and email back to us with your information and we’ll put together a well water filtration system recommendation for you family! https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0659/5447/files/Well_Water_filtration_information.pdf
