Treat what's in the rock — not just the taste.

Parts of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and other regions see naturally elevated arsenic or uranium. Certified reverse osmosis or specialty media is required — always test first.

  • NSF/ANSI certified reduction options
  • RO and specialty media matched to your lab results
  • Essential where provincial guidance flags hotspots

When you need arsenic & uranium reduction

  • Well in a known arsenic or uranium hotspot
  • Lab results above guidelines for either metal
  • Buying rural property without recent metals testing
  • Need certified drinking-water reduction, not guesswork

You can't taste the problem

Arsenic and uranium at typical well concentrations don't announce themselves with smell or colour. Geology-driven hotspots — including parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick — make testing at drilling and periodically afterward non-negotiable.

Treatment options

Certified reverse osmosis is a common drinking-water solution. Specialty media can address some whole-house or point-of-entry scenarios depending on concentration and competing ions. Softeners alone are not an arsenic strategy.

  • Start with an accredited lab report
  • Match equipment to the specific analyte and level
  • Confirm certification claims for the unit proposed

Whole-house vs kitchen protection

Many households prioritize certified reduction for drinking and cooking water first. Your installer will explain when broader treatment is warranted versus point-of-use RO with clear usage habits.

Typical cost in Canada

Point-of-use certified RO often overlaps standard RO pricing; media systems and higher concentrations change the budget. Expect design only after lab numbers are in hand.

Maintenance

Certification depends on filter/membrane changes. Retest after install and on a recurring schedule to confirm performance.

Common questions

Is a softener enough for arsenic?
No. Use equipment certified for arsenic reduction — commonly RO for drinking water, sometimes dedicated media for broader treatment.
Should every Atlantic well test for these?
If you are in or near mapped hotspot regions, yes — follow provincial health and environment guidance.
Does boiling help?
No. Boiling does not remove arsenic or uranium and can concentrate minerals.
