Is the water from your bore safe for
drinking?
The vulnerability of bore water quality depends on many factors. Sandy
sediments and shallow water tables increase the risk of contaminated
groundwater. The proximity to septic tanks and sewage pipelines, road surfaces
and drive ways, industrial activity and farmland increases the risk of
contamination. In some areas, salinity may also be a problem.
Concerns
- E-Coli bacteria caused by water run-off of animal faecal matter
- Arsenic, Fluoride, Nitrates
- Hard water
- Seasonal changes in water quality due to climatic fluctuations and storms
- varying degrees of turbidity resulting in inconsistent water clarity
Recommendations
Getting a water test done is always the first thing to do when considering
drinking bore water. Call us on 0800 787 392 or email us to arrange this.
Once we know exactly what the results are we can make accurate recommendations.
It's important to take all factors into consideration when dealing with bore
water.
We have many clients on bore water and the solutions are always different
because the water is always different, one size doesn't fit all. However there
are some basic things we can assume are necessary such as sediment filtration.
We have helped clients with iron & manganese, hard
water, low pH, foul smelling and tasting issues, excessive bacterial and e-coli
counts, and discoloured water.
If you are a home, farm or food manufacturing company we can guarantee your
bore water will be safe to drink after our recommendations have been
commissioned.
We have certified microbiological filtration
equipment.
We are Steve Reynolds and Greg Morgan and we fix your water problems.
