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.

What Our Customers Have to Say

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.
