Pure Water Systems takes that worry off your plate. We test your well water, identify exactly what needs to be addressed, and design a treatment system that delivers safe, clean, great-tasting water to every tap on the property.

We treat all of them: - Bacteria: Total coliform or E. coli, which make water unsafe to drink without disinfection. - Iron and manganese: Orange, brown, or black staining on fixtures and laundry, and a metallic taste. - Hardness: Scale buildup that wears out plumbing, fixtures, and appliances. - Sediment and sand: Cloudy or gritty water that clogs fixtures and damages equipment. - Sulphur smell: A “rotten egg” odour from hydrogen sulphide. - Tannins and colour: Yellow or tea-coloured water, common where wells draw through organic matter. - Low or acidic pH: Corrosive water that damages pipes and can leach metals. ![Well water problems technician](https://www.purewatersystems.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Well%20water%20problems%20technician.jpg?width=2000&height=1341&name=Well%20water%20problems%20technician.jpg "Well water problems technician") ##### Our solution ## How we treat well water Every well is different, so we never sell a one-size-fits-all package. We start with testing, then design a system — often a few stages working together — matched to your water chemistry, household size, and flow needs. ![num-1-icon](https://www.purewatersystems.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/num-1-icon.png?width=220&height=220&name=num-1-icon.png) ### Test first Accredited testing tells us exactly what we’re treating. ![num-2-icon](https://www.purewatersystems.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/num-2-icon.png?width=220&height=220&name=num-2-icon.png) ### Custom multi-stage design Sediment, iron/manganese, softening, disinfection, and drinking-water polishing, combined only as your water requires. ![num-3-icon](https://www.purewatersystems.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/num-3-icon.png?width=220&height=220&name=num-3-icon.png) ### Professional installation Clean, code-compliant work by technicians who treat well water every day. ![num-4-icon](https://www.purewatersystems.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/num-4-icon.png?width=220&height=220&name=num-4-icon.png) ### Ongoing maintenance Filter changes, servicing, and re-testing to keep the system protecting you for years. ## Who well water treatment is best for ![Well Water Treatment - Acreage and rural properties](https://www.purewatersystems.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Well%20Water%20Treatment%20-%20Acreage%20and%20rural%20properties.jpg?width=200&height=200&name=Well%20Water%20Treatment%20-%20Acreage%20and%20rural%20properties.jpg) ### Acreage and rural properties ![Well Water Treatment - Gulf Islands homes on wells](https://www.purewatersystems.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Well%20Water%20Treatment%20-%20Gulf%20Islands%20homes%20on%20wells.jpg?width=200&height=200&name=Well%20Water%20Treatment%20-%20Gulf%20Islands%20homes%20on%20wells.jpg) ### Gulf Islands homes on wells ![Well Water Treatment - New well owners](https://www.purewatersystems.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Well%20Water%20Treatment%20-%20New%20well%20owners.jpg?width=200&height=200&name=Well%20Water%20Treatment%20-%20New%20well%20owners.jpg) ### New well owners ![Well Water Treatment - Real Estate Purchases](https://www.purewatersystems.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Well%20Water%20Treatment%20-%20Real%20Estate%20Purchases.jpg?width=200&height=200&name=Well%20Water%20Treatment%20-%20Real%20Estate%20Purchases.jpg) ### Real-estate purchases and sales ##### FAQs ## Well water questions, answered --- How do I know if my well water is safe? The only way to know is to test it. Water can look and taste fine and still carry bacteria or elevated metals. We test for the contaminants that matter and tell you clearly where you stand. Do I need a whole system, or just one filter? It depends entirely on your water. Some wells need only disinfection; others need several stages. We design the smallest effective system for your water — never more than you need. Do you service the Gulf Islands? Yes. Gulf Islands properties often rely on wells or rainwater catchment, and we treat both. How often should well water be re-tested? At least once or twice a year for bacteria, and after any change in taste, colour, or smell. We can build a simple re-testing schedule into your maintenance plan. ##### Related services ## Often paired with well water treatment --- ### Water Testing Know exactly what’s in your water — the first step in every job.
