What is Well Water?

Origin

Well water is water extracted from underground aquifers deep within the earth. This water source is accessed by drilling deep into the ground using necessary machinery.

The quality of groundwater can be used for daily activities. It originates from natural rainwater, or water from ponds, lakes, rivers that seep through numerous layers of soil and rock. After a long period of sedimentation, it becomes groundwater.

Forming a groundwater aquifer requires a process that lasts hundreds of years. This is not a short period of time. It can be said that the percolation process of water is the natural water filtration process that no water filtration machine can surpass.

Characteristics of Well Water

Depending on the region and terrain, well water can have different characteristics. The differences between regions in our country are as follows:

• In the Northern region: Groundwater often has relatively high levels of iron and arsenic. Local residents often use it for daily activities.
• In the hilly and mountainous regions: Due to the terrain characteristics, water sources in mountainous areas will have relatively high levels of calcium, limestone, magnesium, etc. However, people in these areas use this type of water less, instead mainly using natural spring water or river water.
• In the Southern region: This is an area with a lot of brackish water due to its proximity to the sea, prolonged rainy seasons. In addition, industrial waste, pesticides, etc., flow into the rivers quite a lot. Therefore, the quality of groundwater in recent years in the Southern region has become increasingly polluted and significantly affected.

Is Well Water Good?

The nature of well water is groundwater. If you live in an area with low pollution, good geological characteristics without salinity, fluoride, heavy metals, then the quality of the water source is completely safe. People can use it with peace of mind for daily activities.

Conversely, if the water source is in an area with poor geological characteristics or contaminated by human activities, the well water will contain harmful substances many times more than normal water. Untreated well water can contain many harmful impurities such as:

• Dissolved organic compounds.
• Inorganic salts.
• Heavy metals: lead, iron, mercury, arsenic, etc.
• Bacteria E. Coli, Coliform, bacteria causing gastrointestinal diseases, etc.
• Nitrogen compounds.
• Fluoride, pH, high salinity, etc.

These harmful impurities, if present in the body for a long time, can cause health damage, leading to various skin, digestive, cancer diseases... with extremely serious consequences. To ensure safety, people need to use methods to treat well water to remove heavy metals, odor, iron, salinity, etc., present in the water.

How to Treat Well Water

Currently, most people use well water for daily activities, supporting activities such as eating, drinking, bathing... However, it is important to note that you should not use them directly. To protect the health of your family, the best approach is still to treat the water before use.

Some common and highly effective methods of treating well water include:

Building a Well Water Filtration Tank

Building a well water filtration tank is a method to remove large-sized dirt particles, suitable for daily use but not for drinking. This filtration tank system occupies a large area and is usually built in rural areas.

Using Source Water Filtration Tanks

Source water filtration systems are modern, convenient, and highly effective. This method filters water through 3 sources to ensure the water quality for people to use in daily activities.

Using RO Water Filtration Systems

This method treats well water into pure water, with an efficiency of up to 99.9%. The water after filtration will no longer contain harmful impurities, and people can use or drink it directly.
