Today, many families depend on a well for their household water needs. Most feel that well water is of a higher quality than water being supplied through municipal reserves. You can never just assume that any water is safe for drinking, however, regardless of the source. There are steps that water well services can take to ensure that home well drinking water is safe to consume. Let’s look at some of these steps.

1. Regular Testing

It’s imperative that well water is tested annually to ensure water quality, according to Penn State Extension It’s also recommended that every three years the PH levels are tested as well as total dissolved solids levels. Water well services can help you with these important types of testing.

2. Water Filtration System Installation

Another important step that you can take is the installation of a water filtration system. Well water can have a high mineral content, leading to an unpleasant appearance or taste. This can be solved with a water filtration system. These types of systems will filter out the unrequired minerals and leave behind pure drinking water.

3. Under Sink Filtration

This is another option for water filtration. This type of water filter will use a reverse osmosis process to filter water. The under-the-sink option produces no wastewater and helps you conserve. You can either purchase a conventional system or a simple system. Most well services recommend this type of system. It can also help to remove odors, tastes, heavy metals, and microbes.

4. Water Softener Installation

Water softeners are another type of system that may be needed for your well water. If your well produces hard water, it basically can’t be used for anything. It’s not good for drinking, bathing, or washing things. Water softeners can help with this issue so that your well water is safe to consume and use for everyday purposes. You can talk with water well services about water softener systems.

5. Distillation System Installation

Distillation is the process in which water is boiled and the steam is condensed and saved into another container. The condensed water is pure from any contaminants or solids. Well services often offer distillation system installation.

6. Disinfection

Pathogens present in water can be killed through disinfection. Disinfection can be done either through physical or chemical means. Heat and electronic radiation are two forms of physical disinfection while the addition of chlorine is an example of chemical disinfection.
