Clues that point to water filtration systems
- Tap water that smells or tastes of the pool.
- Sediment in faucet aerators or toilet tanks.
- A private well with iron staining, sulphur smell or a failed bacteria test.
- A wish to stop buying bottled water.
Our method, in order
Filtration starts with knowing what you want to remove. We do not sell a system to solve a problem you do not have.
- Identify the concern. Taste and odour, sediment, hardness, iron, bacteria, or a specific result from a lab test.
- Match the system. A carbon filter at the kitchen sink, a whole-house cartridge, a reverse osmosis unit, an iron filter or an ultraviolet steriliser.
- Install with isolation valves plus a bypass loop, letting us change a cartridge without leaving the family dry.
- Flush and test before handing over, and label the filter housing with the change date.
| System | Targets |
|---|---|
| Carbon block | Chlorine taste, odour, some organics |
| Sediment cartridge | Sand, rust, grit |
| Reverse osmosis | Dissolved solids, many contaminants, drinking tap only |
| UV steriliser | Bacteria in well water |
Bench note
Well owners in Ontario can drop off water samples for free bacteria testing through public health. York Region Public Health has offered this; check current locations and instructions.
Newmarket houses and this job
In town, most requests are for taste: a sink filter or a reverse osmosis tap in the kitchen. These are quick to install under a standard sink, though a deep island cabinet with a disposer can make room tight.
On rural properties in King, East Gwillimbury and Whitchurch-Stouffville, treatment is more often about safety and staining. A UV system downstream of a sediment filter is a common setup, sometimes combined with a softener. Our circular on private well water covers testing and treatment.
Upkeep
- Change cartridges on schedule, not when taste returns.
- Replace UV lamps yearly.
- Sanitise reverse osmosis systems when membranes are changed.

Phoned-in questions
Can I drink Newmarket tap water as it is?
Municipal water in Ontario is treated and regularly tested. Filtration for town water is usually about taste and preference.
When should the cartridges be changed?
It varies by type and use. Most carbon cartridges last several months; check the manufacturer guidance.
