Water filtration is a process used to remove as many common water contaminants from drinking water as possible.

There are several water filtration methods, each can remove different pollutants (or combinations of pollutants) depending on which you wish to remove.  Learn More Here.

offre’s water will test your water for free and asses what is in your water. We then will discuss with you what is in your water and discuss which contaminants you have and what filtration would best provide you with water quality you desire.

Joffre’s Water then designs and, in some cases, assembles filtration systems that will accomplish that.

If you have an Alberta Health Services water test done, we can sit down and go over the results with you and explain the significance of the results and what can be done to remedy problem areas.

We highly recommend a water test so that you can get the proper filtration in place.

There are numerous contaminants which can be found in well water.

Some of those include

• Iron – Stains fixtures and taste

• Calcium Carbonate & Magnesium 

These are the main components of hard water which causes scaling, Problems for appliances, Reduces the effectiveness of soap and more.

• Sediment (Dirt, Sand and Silt)
• Lead
• Volatile Organic Chemicals
• Odours from gasses (hydrogen sulphide, Methane)
• Sodium
• Manganese 
• Tannins (Acidic Water)
• Heavy Metals
• Arsenic 

Our water filtration can remove or reduce these Contaminant’s.

Water contaminants can cause health issues, make your water taste and smell bad, stain sinks, fixtures, clothes and even hair.

They can cause deterioration in appliances as well.

Theoretically yes, but they are not perfect.

Unfortunately, we can not rely solely on the authorities to filter our water. There are also chemicals which are adder to treat water. However, many people chose to filter these chemicals out due to negative health affects that can be caused by the water additives.

Yes! City water does have some hardness in it. Also, the taste and effects of chlorine/chloramines as well as fluoride are issues.  Many people chose filtration as a method of removing these harmful chemicals.

Some filter systems require the filter’s to be replaced on a regular basis. The length of time between filter changes depends on the quality of water and the amount of water that is used.

Some filter systems regenerate themselves and clean out their media beds. Some of these require adding an additive to regenerate the bed (For example a softener requires that salt be added to the brine tank).

These systems can last for years before they need to be re-bedded or replaced.

We get asked this often. The answer is likely not. Water softeners deal with certain problems, but not all of them. We can help you find the most effective, efficient and economical way to deal with the water issues you have.

A point of use filtration system is a system that has a limited purpose in the house. A reverse osmosis system is usually a point of use system installed at a sink to provide drinking water.

A water softener or iron filter are systems installed where the water enters the home and filters all the water for the house.

Special filters are required for hot water lines since the hot water can cause the plastics to release chemicals into the water.

These can be removed or reduced through shock chlorination of a water source (example: Well)

Other methods include Chlorine injection systems, where chlorine bleach is injected into the water and then filtered out, or by using an ultraviolet lamp which kills the bacteria as the water passes through it.
