Success Story: How EDS Transformed David’s Well Water

When David from Langley reached out to EDS Pumps & Water Treatment, his well water was showing all the classic signs of trouble.

David’s water was showing a yellow hue, metallic taste, and lots of buildup from iron, manganese, and tannins. To make matters worse, his water also contained arsenic, making a reliable, long-term treatment solution essential for his family’s health and peace of mind.

The list is long in regard to the safety risks of poor water quality. Not only does it affect aesthetic issues, like discolouration on laundry or plumbing fixtures, it has lasting health risks on the people of the home.

Long-term exposure to high manganese, iron, and arsenic can lead to neurological and behavioural issues in children or adults, skin and hair problems, indigestion and even cancer.

The Challenge

David’s existing system, which included a Birm filter and an older pressure tank, was no longer keeping up. Despite regular maintenance, his water remained discoloured and continued to stain fixtures. The goal was clear: remove the iron, manganese, tannins, and arsenic and restore clean, great-tasting water throughout the home.

Our Solution

After a detailed site inspection and water testing analysis, our Water Specialist, Kevin, recommended a custom solution designed specifically for David’s well water chemistry.

The installation included:

⦁ Whole Home Water Treatment System to treat iron, manganese, and hardness
⦁ Tannin Specialty Resin to remove tannins and eliminate the yellow tint
⦁ Carbon Filter and Housing for final polishing and improved taste
⦁ Reverse Osmosis (RO) System under the kitchen sink to specifically target arsenic

Bryan and Ihor from our service team removed the old Birm filter and pressure tank, set up the new treatment system, installed the RO unit, and pressure-tested the entire setup. After thorough checks for leaks and system functionality, we collected follow-up water samples confirming that the system was working perfectly and paving the way for the results David would soon enjoy.

The Results

Within days, David noticed the difference. Clear water, improved taste, and the peace of mind that his family’s water was safe and clean.

“We had EDS install a whole house, well water treatment system to remove manganese, iron, tannins, and arsenic,” said David. My initial contact with their sales team was insightful and provided us with several options to consider. After a thorough inspection and discussions about our current and future water needs, EDS provided a detailed proposal for a system that included an under-sink treatment system.”

A Clear Difference

This project highlights what we love most about what we do, helping customers transform their water and regain confidence in their home’s water quality. From first test to final sample, David’s system was tailored to his exact needs and built to deliver reliable, lasting performance.

“Bryan and Ihor arrived on time and were professional, friendly, and thorough,” remarked David. “They answered all our questions and cleaned up completely after the install. The water is crystal clear and tastes great!”
