Clean, chemical-free well water
Owning a well means having a source of water right next to your house, but also being responsible for its quality. Well water often contains bacteria, micro-organisms and other undesirable elements. It can also sometimes be cloudy, contain sediment or other impurities that affect not only its appearance but also its safety - and, of course, in the case of drinking water, its taste. There is, however, a way of achieving natural well water purity without the need for chemicals.
Classification of water according to its intended use
Well water can be used for a variety of purposes. It is important to classify it correctly according to its needs and quality:
- Drinking water If you want to use well water for drinking, you need to ensure that it is of the highest quality. In this case, specific technologies are used to ensure that the water is safe for health.
- Irrigation for the garden/service water It is also important to use water for irrigation that is free of microbial contamination and has a positive effect on the crops and plants that you water. Water (grey water) that is intended for domestic use (for example, for washing or flushing toilets) should also be purified and checked regularly
Regular well maintenance
Both dug and drilled wells require regular mechanical cleaning, both for drinking water and service water. In wells, silt can build up on the bottom over time and needs to be removed. This cleaning should be carried out at least once every 2 years. Nowadays, many companies specialise in professional mechanical well cleaning. It is also very important to monitor water quality through microbiological and chemical analyses.
We recommend that water analyses be repeated regularly for all types of water use to ensure that drinking water, including water for irrigating the garden, is safe.
Steps to ensure clean well water:
1. Effective removal of sediment
One of the most important steps in well care is cleaning by mechanical filtration to remove fine and coarse impurities such as sand, silt or organic debris that settle on the bottom and walls of the well and cause cloudy water. The advantage of this method is that it uses no chemicals, which means that the natural composition of the water is preserved.
2. Water analysis is the key to good well care
The quality of well water can vary greatly depending on location, depth and other factors. Regular water analyses are therefore necessary to accurately assess its composition and ensure it is safe for human health. Especially if there are fields or farm buildings with animals in your area.
Co-operation with accredited laboratories allows detailed analysis of all important water parameters - for example, content in iron, manganese, nitrates, bacteria and other potentially harmful substances. Based on these results, optimal water treatment can be designed.
Thanks to accurate analyses and the subsequent application of accurately dosed measures, it is possible to avoid excessive and often unnecessary chemical intervention. The water from a well is strongly influenced by its surroundings, so its quality can change over time. It is therefore very important to repeat the water analysis regularly to ensure the purity of the water.
3. Securing subcontractors - comprehensive service and co-ordination
The path to clean well water involves a number of specialised activities that require professionals with different skills. We are experienced in securing qualified subcontractors to work with throughout the process of caring for a dug or drilled well. This way you get a complete service without the need for complicated search and co-ordination of individual suppliers.
The result is efficient and reliable well care, including all the necessary steps to ensure quality and healthy water.
Clean service and even drinking water from the well
If all of the steps are followed correctly, it is possible with the help of the STABFOR® unit to obtain water not only for service purposes (e.g. garden watering), but also for drinking or for a swimming pool. This system allows the water quality to be maintained at a high level while respecting its natural composition and eliminating the need for chemical treatments. At the same time, the water retains important minerals and trace elements, so the aim is not to remove substances that are beneficial to the body.
This way you have clean, safe and healthy water at home straight from the well.
In the case of a dug well, where the water is used only for watering the garden and crops, we recommend applying the product BIONANOSTOP® once a year.
From sediment-laden water to clear, chemical-free water
If your well suffers from turbidity or sedimentation, there is no need to reach for chemical products that can affect the composition of the water. With mechanical purification, regular analyses and quality co-ordination of professionals, you can achieve water that is clean, safe and healthy.
The STABFOR® unit helps you to ensure the long-term quality of your well water while respecting its natural composition without unnecessary chemical intervention
