People Drink Lake Water?

The answer is yes, of course. Almost every major city in the world is located near a surface water source. Water from a lake or river is generally abundant, and since it is soft as well as low in total dissolved solids and iron, it is easier to treat than well water.

Are you a cottage owner who wants to improve your water? Maybe you’re the one looking after the family cottage now, or you’re converting a seasonal cottage to year round. You’re probably sick of lugging around jugs of water and dealing with the plastic. We talk to cottagers all the time who have had enough of this routine. They want more from their water. They want it to smell and taste great! And they want to know it’s safe.

The key to treatment usually comes down to 2 things:

Filtration removes particles, sediment and the organic compounds which give surface water its earthy, swampy taste. Replaceable cartridge filters are a common choice, but a fully automated, backwashing filter is virtually maintenance free. Proper filtration improves taste and allows for effective disinfection.

Disinfection kills the bacteria, viruses and microorganisms that are present in the water. While chlorine is very effective, it can negatively affect the septic bed or holding tank. Ultra-violet (UV) treatment is cost effective and efficient. As water passes through the UV chamber, the molecular structure of the organisms is broken down, making them harmless and unable to reproduce.
