Bore Water
Freshwater Systems utilise various water treatment solutions available to remove minerals and other contamination to increase the versatility of bore water for use in different applications, or to convert it to drinking water.
Bore water is a commonly used water source however it is often present with numerous contaminants and a high mineral content, including elevated levels of TDS, calcium, iron, manganese and chlorides.
Bore water can be naturally contaminated by minerals, chemicals, bacteria and viruses. However, human activity usually has the greatest impact on shallow ground water quality as a result of:
- Excessive or inappropriate use of fertilizers, animal manures, pesticides and insecticides
- Poorly maintained septic tanks and other liquid waste disposal systems
- Leaking fuel and chemical tanks
- Intensive agriculture, industry or mining
- Leaching from waste disposal areas
- Accidental spills of chemicals.
The level of filtration required depends entirely on the purpose the water is being used for, and the type of contamination. Potable water requires more purification than water not used for consumption.
If you are using bore water, there are a number of things you can do to clean up your water including membrane technology, filtration, mineral modification and disinfection. Freshwater Systems have utilised some of the following bore water treatment systems assisting thousands of customers Australia-wide, using:
- Reverse osmosis desalination
- Iron removal (chlorine dosing, aeration, media)
- Water softening
- Multimedia filtration
- Carbon filtration
- UV sterilisation
- Ultrafiltration
Commercial Applications for Treated Bore Water
- Drinking and any other drinking water application
- Watering and irrigation
- Stock watering
- Laundry services
