Water Treatment

The choice of appropriate filters for groundwater treatment (from one's own well), to make it safe for drinking, requires a few key steps.

Here is, what you should start with:

1. Conducting a water analysis

The first and most important step is to conduct a comprehensive water analysis. The analysis should include:

 

✅ Microbiological parameters: presence of bacteria (e.g. E. coli, Escherichia coli, and fecal enterococci), viruses, parasites.
✅ Chemical parameters: content of heavy metals (e.g. lead, arsenic, cadmium), iron, manganese, pesticides, nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, sulfates, chlorine, sodium, pH, water hardness, etc.
✅ Physical parameters: turbidity, color, smell, taste.

 

Water analysis can be ordered from our company or from any accredited laboratory, which will provide a detailed report.

You can also use our well water testing kit. 

 

2. Evaluation of analysis results

Based on the results of the water analysis, it is possible to identify contaminants that need to be removed and determine which key parameters require improvement. Detailed information about the parameters that drinking water should meet can be found HERE. 

 

3. Main goals of treatment

The main goals of water treatment in the context of drinking use are:


✅ Removal of microbiological contaminants (bacteria, viruses).
✅ Reduction of chemical contaminants (heavy metals, pesticides, nitrates).
✅ Improvement of taste, smell, and color of the water. 

4. Selection of appropriate treatment technologies

Based on the results of the water analysis and treatment goals, appropriate filtration technologies can be selected:

 

✅ Mechanical filtration

  • Goal: Removal of solid particles (sand, silt, sediments).
  • Technology: Filters with foam, string, or mesh cartridges.

✅ Carbon filtration

  • Goal: Reduction of organic compounds, chlorine, improvement of taste and smell.
  • Technology: Carbon filters with activated carbon.

✅ Water softening

  • Goal: Removal of excess calcium and magnesium ions (water hardness).
  • Technology: Water softeners with ion-exchange resin.

✅ Iron and manganese removal

  • Goal: Removal of excess iron and manganese.
  • Technology: Filters with appropriate filtering media, e.g. Klarsanit, Greensand, Birm.

✅ Disinfection

  • Goal: Removal of microorganisms.
  • Technology: UV systems, ozonation, chlorination.

✅ Reverse osmosis (RO)

  • Goal: Removal of a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals, nitrates, pesticides, viruses, and bacteria.
  • Technology: Reverse osmosis systems with osmotic membranes.

5. Installation and Maintenance

After selecting appropriate filters and treatment systems, it is important to have them professionally installed and regularly maintained, which includes:

 

✅ Replacement of filter cartridges according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
✅ Regular flushing and cleaning of the systems.
✅ Monitoring water quality after treatment.
