UPSTREAM ENSURES SAFE WATER IN DEEP AND SHALLOW WELLS

Hugh Scholtz of Flow Water Solutions can't say enough about the success he's having with the Upstream series. He finds that he can quickly install an Upstream on a site to secure it while troubleshooting and repairing underlying source water problems, and then leave in on the site permanently. In other cases, where the underlying source problem is unclear, he quickly and definitively solves the customer problem by installing the Upstream and then retesting the water to confirm water quality.

Two Case Studies: A Shallow Well and a Deep Well

Shallow Well: The customer's home in Caledon, Ontario had a dug well with a cistern. Water tests found coliform/E-coli counts of 80+/E.coli 0.00 causing the local health officials to get involved. Flow Water identified cracks in the cistern, allowing surface influence into the cistern. Before digging it up and resealing it Flow Water installed an Upstream 10-50 and chlorine shocked the lines in the house. A new water sample was sent to the Public Health lab the following day and the result was a zero-zero count. Now, the Upstream is permanently installed on the home. Further water samples came back with 0/0 counts, confirming the long-term effectiveness of the Upstream system.

Deep Well: In contrast, another Flow Water customer in Peterborough Ontario has a 175 foot drilled well. Despite the deep well and rock base the water was also found to have 80+/80+ coliform and E.Coli counts. The Peterborough area has plenty of water and a solid rock base, but clearly there was an issue with fractured rock or surface influent from some unidentified source.

"The underlying problem here was not clear, their test results were getting worse with each month of heavy rains, and the Ministry was now involved. Time was of the essence. The least costly and fastest route to a solution for this customer was to just get an Upstream in there. Since then their water quality problems have disappeared."
