Acidic well water, arsenic hotspots, and coastal filtration.
About Atlantic Canada water
Atlantic Canada's private wells and coastal supplies bring unique water chemistry — low pH, elevated arsenic and uranium in parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and iron/manganese throughout. Our local partners install treatment tuned to the region's realities.
Much of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland runs pH 5.5–6.5, corroding copper plumbing. Calcite neutralizers are a common first step.
Parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have naturally elevated arsenic and uranium. Certified RO or specialty media is required — test first.
Orange, black or brown staining on fixtures and laundry is nearly universal on Atlantic wells and needs dedicated iron/manganese filtration.
Wells near the shore can see elevated sodium and chloride, especially after storms. RO handles it reliably.

FAQ
Yes — Natural Resources Canada and provincial health authorities flag arsenic hotspots throughout both provinces. Every private well should be tested at drilling and every few years after.
A calcite (calcium carbonate) neutralizer on the main line raises pH into the safe 7–8 range, stopping copper pinholes and blue-green staining. Larger flows may need a soda-ash injection system.
Yes — certified reverse osmosis systems reduce both to well below Health Canada guidelines. Confirm your unit is NSF/ANSI 58 certified for arsenic reduction.
