Water Treatment
With over 2100 known carcinogens in our water supply, and countless other contaminants it’s no wonder the water filter industry is growing at over 3 billion dollars in sales a year worldwide. If you do not have a water filter of some kind, you may want to consider buying one soon.

Water treatment and conditioning systems were invented to address public concerns about water quality. They are especially useful for homeowners who rely on well water and are responsible for maintaining the quality of their water supply. If your water comes from a municipal water supply it could still benefit from conditioning that will improve its taste and feel.

Water AnalysisJFC Pumps
If you are experiencing problems with your water, such as an unpleasant odour, taste, sediment and hardness issues, then a water treatment system could be the right solution. But before you start shopping, it’s necessary to determine what’s wrong with your water through water analysis, which JFC Pumps offers for free to our customers.

Once JFC Pumps know which water contaminant is causing the trouble, we can help you select a water treatment or conditioning system that will solve this issue once and for all. We carry a variety of water treatment and conditioning systems that utilize different methods to improve various water characteristics:

Chlorination, ozonation and UV light could be used to disinfect your water and kill bacteria.
Mechanical filters (sediment removal units) can trap sediment and other fine particles before they make it into your drinking water.
Activated carbon filters absorb impurities and eliminate unpleasant odors and tastes.
Oxidizing filters bind with iron, hydrogen sulfide and manganese, making your water softer and tastier.
Neutralizing filters use a neutralizing agent, such as limestone chips, to balance water’s pH and solve acidity problems. Neutralizers help protect and prevent deterioration of pipes and faucets that may lead to pinhole leaks. They are also known to reduce high lead levels in water.
jfcpumps.ieReverse osmosis uses pressure to separate impurities from the water by pushing water through a semi-permeable membrane. It’s one of the most convenient and economical methods of reducing unwanted contaminants in your drinking water.
Distillation systems turn water into v***r and then condense the v***r to return it to the liquid state, thus removing water from impurities, instead of impurities from water.
Water softener (ion exchange) systems soften the water by removing calcium, magnesium, and iron and are normally regenerated with a mild brine solution.
There are many things to consider when choosing the right water treatment system such as the water problem you wish to eliminate placement of the water conditioning equipment in your home, your family’s water usage, etc. We offer various equipment from competitively priced to high end units. When evaluating your situation, we will offer you a couple of different systems that best fit your budget to solve your water problems

UV & Pre Filtration
Ultra Violet Disinfection uses UV light to give you water that is natural and safe. UV is the method of choice for protecting the majority of private water supplies from microbiological contamination in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Normally, installed at the point where the water enters the property, UV kills bacteria (E.coli, Coliforms etc.) mould, algae and virus contamination without adding chemicals – preserving the water’s natural taste and healthy minerals.

UV & Pre FiltrationIt is recommended that all UV disinfectiors are installed with a pre-filter. This pre filter removes the larger particulate from the water, preventing the effect called “shadowing” whereby bacteria can pass through the water in the “shadow” of small debris. The size of filter is dependent on the water flow and quality of the water.

Stainless steel UV and control box (UV) and pre filter (Filter Housing) installed as part of a larger system to remove iron (Iron Reduction filter and microbiolgoical contamination (UV). The UV bulb needs changing every year and the pre filter every 3 to 6 months dependent on water quality and the amount of water used. To change the filter you need a Spare Filter and a Wrench.

pH Correction
Water from a spring supply is often acidic (less than pH 7) which means it can cause pin-holing of copper pipe and hot water cylinders. This often leads to copper leaching into the water causing discolouration (blue tinge / staining) of sanitary ware and light coloured hair. Problems relating to low pH are easily resolved by installing a pH corrector. A pH corrector works by slightly increasing the calcium and magnesium content of the water, however it does not alter the water’s natural taste or take away healthy minerals.

Iron Filtration Specialists
Borehole water often contains high concentrations of minerals such as iron and manganese. Even where these mineral concentrations are low, they cannot be ignored. The presence of iron alone or in combination with other contaminants such as manganese often leads to staining problems (to appliances and laundry) and can give the water an unpleasant, metallic taste. In some cases, water that contains high concentrations of iron and manganese can also contain hydrogen sulphide which means the water can taste foul (rotten eggs).
