Original System When we bought our rural property in 2000, the water system needed some serious help. The previous owners had purchased a Culligan water conditioner that did not use salt, but used a dosing pump which injected a bleach solution into the water when the well pump was running. The well water had lots of iron and a horrible sulfur smell. It was nasty! The iron in the water was oxidized by the bleach and fell out of suspension where it was filtered out. At least that was the theory. Not only did we find this pump had an ongoing problem with leaks (bleach has a nasty habit of eating rubber seals), but the tank needed to be regularly refilled with many gallons of grocery store[..]

So you want to look into Solar. I have been living off grid at my cottage since 1994. I can tell you that there is no finer way to be than off-grid. No inflated bills. Nothing. Where my cottage is located is in a remote area from power. The power company wanted over $2,000 just to engineer a power solution to my cottage. When I asked them what that meant, they told me it was basically an administration and design charge. What I would receive was a blueprint and a high-level cost estimate to implement their design. I told them to hold off and asked some more questions. Bottom line was they would charge $50 a metre to run power cables to my cottage. The closest power was over 1,000 metres[..]

One of the most effective and commonly used water filtration systems is a Reverse Osmosis water treatment system. Reverse osmosis water filtration works by using pressure to force water through a reverse osmosis membrane, retaining the harmful minerals and particles on one side and allowing the pure, clean, filtered water to pass to the other side. Once the drinking water has been fully processed by an RO system, it is then stored in an RO storage tank. Once stored in a reverse osmosis water tank, the water is ready for use. One of the pitfalls of using an RO system is the capacity of the RO storage tank. The holding capacity of an RO water tank is dependent on both the inlet water[..]
