Wouldn’t it be great if you could just drink the lake water at your cottage, rather than haul around cases of bottled water or huge water jugs? Well, with the right water treatment system, you could!
Surface water sources including lake, ponds, or springs have naturally occurring but mostly harmless contaminants like tannins and sediment. These will affect the taste, colour, and odour of the water, and typically, that’s what keeps you from even wanting to drink water from the lake. In most cases, this is easily taken care of with basic filtration. And it’s easy to tell if it’s working, because you’ll have clear, great tasting water…
