Unfortunately, this cannot be guaranteed. However, during the pump installation, a water sample can be obtained and taken to a laboratory for analyses. A report will be issued +- 7 days thereafter, indicating whether the borehole water tested, is suitable for human consumption. The report will indicate the minerals present in the water. The possibility of filtration systems can then be considered in order to purify the water.

This can be done. The municipal system can be closed with a valve and the house can function “off grid” using the borehole water. A pressure system is installed to maintain the correct pressure in the plumbing of the house. The water pressure is the same as the municipal water pressure.
If the water delivery is good and the quality of the work (drilling and casing installation) is done correctly, the borehole should be suitable for lifelong usage.
There is never a guarantee. It remains a risk to the client. However, the Water Detection Specialist that we recommend has an 80% – 90% success rate.
