If you live in the rural area if of Almonte, Ontario you already know that iron can leave rust stains on sinks, tubs, toilets, clothing and linens. It can also, in some circumstances, form scale and clog plumbing in water using appliances while making water turn brown as well as smell and taste bad. Iron or rusty water is typically created when ground water passes through iron-bearing rocks. It’s important to know, however, that there is more than one type of iron problem.
In fact iron comes in a wide variety of forms, which means that the typically recommended “one size fits all” systems, offered by a great many water treatment brands, may or may not offer the correct solution for your specific water issues.
Generally, a water-softening device will only remove the “ferrous” or Fe2 type of iron. Unfortunately, once the iron has become bonded with any organics in the water, this type of device will have virtually no effect. Nelson Water will offer you a tailored solution, which will typically include a chemical injection system, followed by a retention tank, a turbidity filter and lastly a carbon filter to eliminate any iron and or sulfur bacteria content from your rural well water supply. This set of tools will deliver odour and bacteria free water that actually tastes good with no chlorine residual or aftertaste. The only way to implement the correct solution is through the testing of the actual water, which must be done at the site, because once the water becomes exposed to air, it will change form. pH is one of the most critical elements in controlling the effectiveness of the equipment used for iron reduction.
In addition to leaving a yellowish tinge to the water and stains on sinks, tubs and toilets, Tannins also tend to bind up organically with iron, making the process much more complicated. Knowing this, Nelson Water offers a tailored solution, which will characteristically include a chemical injection system using a coagulant that brings together the dissolved organic matter into clumps that can be more easily filtered out, followed by a retention tank, a turbidity filter and lastly a carbon filter to eliminate any leftover taste in your rural well water supply. The other protocol Nelson Water employs, when the tannin is not bound up with iron, is an ion exchange system similar to how a softener works. In this case, exchanging the tannin ions for sodium, rather than calcium or magnesium ions.
That nauseating, rotten egg odour in your water is due to gas. Hydrogen sulfide gas to be precise. This is a problem common to many rural wells throughout the Almonte region. When hydrogen sulfide is dissolved in water, it causes that unpleasant rotten egg odour and cloudiness. Additionally, gasses dissolved in your water can be detrimental to your plumbing system, as they cause excess wear and tear on washers, valves and seats as well as causing severe corrosion to the actual copper pipes and brass fittings. Nelson Water uses numerous proprietary protocols to ensure that hydrogen sulfide gas is eliminated from well water supplies. Using the ETF AIV-10 air-aspirated iron and sulfur filter, which also removes manganese (known to leave terrible black stains everywhere) the ETF AIV-10 has the ability of oxidizing the sulfur, iron and manganese into a precipitate which is filtered out by the media bed in the ETF AIV-10. In severe cases of iron, hydrogen sulfide or manganese, Nelson Water Nelson Water offers a tailored solution, which will often include a chemical injection system using chlorine or hydrogen peroxide followed by a retention tank, a turbidity filter and lastly a carbon filter to eliminate any remaining any taste or odour from your rural well water supply.
In some particular areas of the greater Almonte, Ontario region, specifically the areas of the former Champlain Sea, Nelson Water has a successful track record of eliminating sodium from well water supplies. The former Champlain Sea area was a temporary inlet of the Atlantic Ocean created by the retreating glaciers during the end of the last ice age. The Sea once included lands in what are now the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. These areas, as former salt water basins, are rich in sodium chloride which in turn, like sea water is very corrosive on copper, brass and other metallic plumbing fixtures and water using appliances. By using a light commercial WHRO (Whole House Reverse Osmosis System) Nelson Water is able to filter and deliver high quality, great tasting sodium free water.
As private well water, final barrier protection, is the responsibility of the homeowner, Nelson Water can offer innovative treatment systems to address critical water issues found in rural well water, like lead contamination, toxic chemicals (from manufacturing and agricultural runoff) as well as naturally occurring uranium /radon. Nelson Water has a 30-year track record of successfully removing these dangerous contaminants from Almonte, Ontario well water. Although the instrument of choice, in these applications, is typically a three-stage reverse osmosis system, (the EcoWater ERO 375) there are also specific types of nutshell carbon (e.g. coconut shell) that can be effective. Nelson Water offers unequaled technical capabilities, particularly in managing the removal of toxic chemicals and the abatement of any meaningful levels of uranium /radon which are common in the rural area of Almonte, Ontario.

Although Almonte does a great job at providing potable water, the mucipality actually adds fluoride, which is technically a chemical designed to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride is a controversial subject, but there is scientific evidence that there may be health issues associated (both positive and negative) with the chemical. As a homeowner you have the option remove it as it enters your home if you so desire.
