Salt Spring Island real estate tip of the day is the house on a well? If it on a well how is the well water sanitized?
In a town/city the water coming out of the tap has been tested and the town/city has added chlorine to the water to kill all the germs. When you buy a house on a well you become your own water provider and need to make sure the water is OK to drink.
Here are a couple of different option that are available to sanitize your drinking water.
Chlorine can be added to the well or into the system at some point.
UV light system. Simple to install and no messy chemicals.
It is not an expensive investment to make but very important. With a little research and a visit to the local hardware store (Mouats) you can have a state of the art UV sanitizing system up and running in no time with minimal cost (less than $400). Or you can add bleach to your well.
