Nanaimo Water Treatment Solutions

To improve the quality and safety of your water, you can install a water treatment system in your Nanaimo home. These come in several different varieties, including these common types:

Water Filtration System

These purify your water by removing contaminants through a physical barrier, chemical or biological process.

Water Softeners

These reduce the hardness of water by using sodium or potassium ions to replace calcium and magnesium ions.

Distillation Systems

This involves performing a process on the water during which impure water is boiled and the steam is collected and condensed in a separate container. This causes the solid contaminants to be removed.

Disinfection 

This uses a physical or chemical process during which pathogenic microorganisms are deactivated or killed. This can include using chemical disinfectants like chlorine, or physical disinfectants like ultraviolet light.

As a professional plumbing company that installs water treatment systems we often help Nanaimo homeowners determine whether they need one. The quality of water in your home can impact everything from your health to the longevity of your plumbing and appliances. Here are some signs that indicate you may need a water treatment system:

Strange Taste or Odor in Water

If your tap water has an unpleasant taste, such as metallic, salty, or earthy, or if it smells like chlorine or sulfur, a water treatment system can help filter out these impurities and improve overall water quality.

Hard Water Issues

Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. If you notice mineral buildup on faucets, spots on dishes, or your skin feeling dry after showering, you likely have hard water. A water softening system can resolve these issues.

Frequent Plumbing Problems 

Hard water can cause mineral deposits to build up inside your pipes, leading to frequent clogs and reduced water pressure. Installing a water treatment system can protect your plumbing and improve the flow of water throughout your home.

Concerns About Contaminants 

If you’re concerned about contaminants such as lead, pesticides, or bacteria in your water supply, especially if you use well water, a water treatment system can provide peace of mind by filtering out harmful substances.

Staining on Fixtures and Laundry 

Brown, red, or blue-green staining on sinks, tubs, and laundry can indicate high levels of iron, copper, or other minerals in your water. A treatment system can reduce staining and protect your appliances and clothing.

Health Concerns

If you or your family members experience skin irritation, stomach issues, or other health problems after drinking tap water, it’s a sign that your water quality may be compromised. A water treatment system can address these concerns by providing cleaner, safer drinking water.
