Cottage and rural

Lake or well water you can trust

Iron, sulphur, hardness and bacteria are common in rural water. We treat them all.

A complete rural system

UV disinfection

Protection from bacteria.

Iron and sulphur filters

No stains or smells.

Reverse osmosis

Great drinking water at the cottage.

Lake water is not ready to drink

Even crystal-clear lake water can carry bacteria, parasites and algae. A cottage system typically includes sediment filtration, UV disinfection and a reverse osmosis tap for drinking water, all sized to your pump and usage.

Seasonal care checklist

  • Spring opening: replace filters and the UV lamp, sanitize the lines, and test for bacteria before drinking.
  • Summer: watch for changes in colour, taste or smell, especially after storms.
  • Fall closing: drain and winterize equipment to prevent freeze damage.

Many stores offer opening and closing service so your water is ready when you arrive.
