Understanding Water Filtration Needs in Upstate New York

In Upstate New York, especially around the Finger Lakes, water filtration is a vital concern due to the unique qualities of our water sources. While the water from the Finger Lakes is generally of moderate hardness (meaning it has a reasonable amount of minerals like calcium and magnesium) and has an average amount of dissolved substances, many residents are put off by the taste and smell of chlorine used in water treatment. There’s also worry about the by-products of chlorine disinfection, which can be harmful. This is where filtration systems come into play, helping to remove these unwanted elements and improve both the taste and safety of the water.

Moving to well water in areas around the Finger Lakes, we encounter a different set of problems. These wells often have issues like iron and manganese contamination, colloidal clay (which can make the water look gray), and a notorious rotten egg smell caused by hydrogen sulfide. While these contaminants might not always be harmful to health, they can make the water unpleasant to use and can lead to staining and corrosion in pipes and appliances.

In the regions south of Lake Ontario, deep wells face challenges with high levels of sulfates and total dissolved solids – a measure of all organic and inorganic substances dissolved in the water. These high levels make traditional water softening methods, which usually work by swapping minerals in the water with sodium, less effective.

Over in the Adirondacks, the situation again shifts. Here, well water has been tested showing high iron content but low levels of other minerals and substances. This imbalance makes it difficult for standard filtration methods, which are typically designed for water with a more balanced mineral composition, to work effectively.

So, what’s the solution? Well, it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each water source has its unique challenges, requiring different filtration methods. Some contaminants are best tackled by adsorption (where contaminants stick to a filter’s surface), others by oxidation (which chemically changes the contaminants so they can be filtered out), and others by physical filtration (simply straining out the impurities). This is why it’s essential to consult with a water conditioning specialist and do the necessary tests first. This ensures that the chosen filtration method is specifically tailored to the problem at hand, providing the most effective solution for clean and safe water.

I live in Walworth, for almost 60 years. And I normally do all my own work. In this case Aquanology was the only Company to actually talk to me. None of the others returned calls or emails. The folks at Aquanology talked to me, were responsive to our timetable and budget. I had them do a water test and install a UV light on our well. It was more cost effective to have Aquanology do the work. They showed up on time, performed the job, cleaned up after themselves and explained all the equipment installed and how to use and maintain it. Aquanology provides fast, professional and courteous service. I recommend them without hesitation. Regards, Karel

Highly recommend Aquanology for any of your water treatment needs. Matthew was very attentive and quick to respond to any issues or questions I had. They installed a UV system and a sediment filter and even came back and helped me diagnose a completely different issue and rectified it for me within a day. I couldn't ask for better service and support!

I give Aquanology the highest of reviews and would not use anyone else after our recent experiences. Matthew and assistant recently installed a dual alternating softener, a 20 micron carbon block filter and a water on water reverse osmosis additional filter for drinking water, all in the basement of our Pittsford home with an additional line carrying the ultra high quality drinking water to a seperate smaller faucet in our kitchen sink. Matthew explained that we would receive excellent quality water without some of these more expensive upgrades but we requested them due to special health concerns. We had contacted Aquanology 18 months before when our previous company refused to continue servicing an older system. We were impressed by their many excellent reviews. There was never any pressure or disturbing calls. Matthew took the time to explain everything at our level of understanding, tested our water before the final recommendations and after the installation. They arrived on time, were very considerate with our home and cleaning up after themselves. They disposed of all waste and the old system. They declined breakfast and lunch in a friendly manner as they brought their own. They promptly sent us the cancelled receipt for our records. Pricing is very competitive. They explained how to service the system ourselves, which really involves very little, but we chose to ask them back for a 6 month service call which is reasonably priced. We felt we knew everything about the system and could ask Matthew anything. We felt very safe and at ease. At one week after installation all is working well and water quality is excellent. If you have any problems with your water or want a water system you can not do better than Matthew and Aquanology.

We recently had a water softener and charcoal filtration system installed in our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The entire process was smooth and hassle-free. Matthew from Aquanology was professional and efficient, and took the time to explain how the system works. Since the installation, we’ve noticed a significant improvement in the quality of our water. Our clothes feel softer, our appliances are performing better. It's made a noticeable difference in our daily lives, and I highly recommend this water softener installation service to anyone looking to improve their water quality and home comfort.

Matthew is honest, trustworthy and hardworking. He’s genuine and explains everything. His brother was here for the first part of the install but I didn’t meet him. We had the water softener, RO and UV installed and it has made a huge difference. We lived with hard well water for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Colloidal clay, also known as gray water, can be found randomly in well water, sometimes varying with the water table and the season of the year. The most common method of removal is ultrafiltration, since standard filters are not fine enough; the downside is, this is an expensive method. A more cost-effective option that can work just as effectively is coagulation coupled with a sand-type backwashing filter.
Yes, we stock common sizes and micron ratings of sediment filters and carbon block filters. If you would like filters delivered to your door, give us a call and we’ll put you on our schedule.
Yes, you can. Keep in mind that most carbon filters have a service flow rating for effectively reducing chlorine, and standard sized cartridges are most likely too small to filter all the water to your house. They will also require quite frequent replacements, which can get expensive. Specialized whole house carbon filters utilize either granulated carbon by the cubic foot, or giant filter cartridges, capable of supplying your household for years without maintenance.
