Common filtration needs for Upstate New York’s water?

The water filtration needs in upstate New York are as diverse as the water sources and the needs that these water supplies address.

1.

For example, the Finger Lakes are known to provide abundant water to the many public water systems for local towns and cities in the vicinity. This water is usually only moderately hard, and moderate in total dissolved solids. However, many homeowners and families don’t care for the taste and smell of the chlorine, as well as the health concerns from disinfection by-products caused by the chlorine. Filtration systems are in demand to address these issues.

2.

Shifting our gaze a little, well water near the Finger Lakes can have a host of issues. From iron and manganese, to colloidal clay (gray water), to the infamous hydrogen sulfide or sulfur smell water, the Finger Lakes region pretty much has it all. Some of these contaminants are not linked directly to health concerns, but on the other hand, make the water repulsive in smell or appearance, or not readily usable because of the stains and corrosion it causes.

3.

Deep wells in some areas south of Lake Ontario have water with very high levels of sulfates and total dissolved solids. Because of the challenges produced by the high mineral content, the traditional method of water softening is not as effective.

4.

Well water in the Adirondacks region has been seen to have very high iron, but that also in conjunction with low TDS, pH, and hardness, which makes standard filtration methods challenging.
Well now, what’s the answer to all these water issues?The answer is, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all filtration method that will take care of everything. Some contaminants are best removed with adsorption, others with oxidation, and others with physical filtration. This is the reason it is best to consult with a water conditioning specialist, and do the necessary tests first off, so that the filtration method employed is designed for the contaminant being addresses.

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.
