WATER FILTRATION & TREATMENT

CHOOSING THE RIGHT WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM

RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL

Clean, safe water is essential for both homes and businesses. With numerous water filtration options available, selecting the right system can seem overwhelming. Understanding your water quality and filtration needs will help you make an informed choice.

Water drawn directly from wells can sometimes require treatment for human consumption due to various contaminants. It does not only contain bacteria, but can also have a high concentration of metals such as calcium and magnesium. Pollutants such as sewage could’ve contaminated the water as well. At Steelhead Ventures Ltd., we provide full service water filtration & treatment.

The Government of Canada has strict protocols about drinking water systems – standards of design, operation and maintenance. Access to clean drinking water is a basic human necessity and we strive to provide it.

1. Identify Your Water Quality Issues

Start by testing your water for contaminants such as bacteria, heavy metals, sediment, and chemicals. Common issues include hard water, chlorine taste, and high iron content. Knowing what’s in your water will determine the type of filtration system you need.

2. Types of Water Filtration Systems

  • Carbon Filters – Effective at removing chlorine, bad taste, and odors.
  • Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems – Excellent for removing heavy metals, bacteria, and dissolved solids.
  • UV Purification – Kills bacteria and viruses without chemicals.
  • Water Softeners – Reduce hardness by removing calcium and magnesium.
  • Sediment Filters – Trap dirt, rust, and large particles to protect plumbing and appliances.

3. Consider Your Water Usage

Households and businesses with high water consumption may require whole-house filtration systems, while smaller setups may benefit from under-sink or point-of-use filters. Choose a system that meets your daily water needs efficiently.

4. Maintenance & Longevity

Each system requires regular maintenance, such as filter replacements or membrane cleaning. Consider the cost and frequency of maintenance to ensure long-term performance and efficiency.

5. Professional Installation vs. DIY

While some filtration systems are easy to install, others may require professional setup to ensure optimal performance. Consulting with a water treatment expert can help you choose the right system and installation method.

Choosing the right water filtration system ensures safe, high-quality water for your home or business. By understanding your water quality and filtration needs, you can invest in a system that provides clean water and long-term benefits.
