How to protect your water from viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens in Eastern & Central Ontario

To stay healthy and fight off illness it’s important to stay well-hydrated however if you are drinking contaminated water, that plan can work against you.

There are 2 ways to ensure Eastern & Central Ontario water is pathogen free:

  1. Buy Bottled Water – You can skip the lines and have Culligan Belleville bottled water delivered to your door.
  2. Treat your water at your home or business by boiling your water or one of the methods described below.
There are 4 main ways you can eliminate organisms, bacteria, and viruses (including the coronavirus though we’ve thus far found no research to indicate the coronavirus is a water-borne concern) from your water in Eastern & Central Ontario.

Four ways to eliminate viruses, bacteria, and pathogens from your water:

  1. Chlorination – This is what most municipalities use because it’s cheap and the disinfectant remains in the water from the treatment plant through miles and miles of plumbing and into your home. So if there’s a water main break along the way, the chlorine remaining in the water still keeps your water safe from living organisms.
  2. Ultraviolet (UV) Light Filters – UV lights are a water treatment option that allows water to flow through and kill all organisms that pass by the light. If you’ve ever had sunburn you have a basic idea of how light can kill living cells. This method is very effective and is used in bottled water plants, in Bottle-Free Coolers, and can even be installed in your home.
  3. Ozonation – This method injects ozone into water to kill living organisms. It’s often used in bottled water facilities however it’s more costly than the first 2 options.
  4. Distillation – This process boils water and then collects the steam. The boiling kills pathogens however this process is not generally feasible for homes or businesses and is primarily used by bottled water companies.

Can I be confident bottled water is safe?

There’s a lot of misinformation on the internet about bottled water.

Bottled water is regulated by the FDA as well as by the IBWA (International Bottled Water Association) and the IBWA standards are rigorous.

All of our bottled water at Culligan Belleville meets both FDA and IBWA standards.

As part of the bottling process, we employ both UV lights and ozonation to kill viruses, bacteria, and other living organisms. Together these methods are extremely effective and don’t leave residual chemicals in your drinking water like chlorine.

Do water filters remove viruses, bacteria, and other organisms?

Some filters, like our Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems, can remove viruses, bacteria and other organisms from your water but ONLY as a LAST RESORT.

These filtration systems are not designed for long-term treatment of living organisms in water so the filtration system can get “plugged up” in a process called bio-fouling.

Your best option to ensure your home’s water will always be free from infectious diseases, is a whole house UV water treatment system.

If your well water is contaminated, or for your city water you just prefer the peace-of-mind knowing that even if your municipality undergoes a boil water alert or your water is contaminated from a water main break that your water is safe, we recommend a UV whole home water treatment.

At Culligan, we can test your water for bacteria as well as recommend the proper sized UV system for your home, plumbing, and water usage.

One of the main factors in ensuring you eliminate living organisms in water is properly sizing the system so that the water has enough contact time with the disinfecting method (chlorine, ozone, or UV), so take advantage of our free water test in Eastern & Central Ontario to ensure you’re getting what’s best for your family.

What about my business and office?

In an office environment you can use bottled water coolers or bottle-free coolers for your drinking water. Our bottle-free coolers include built-in UV lights so you can be sure the water is sterile and clean.

For commercial, industrial, and municipal applications we have many options using one or more of the methods described above so you’ll need to contact one of our water treatment experts to explain your needs before we can make a recommendation.

Should I be concerned about Coronavirus (COVID-19) in my water?

According to the CDC:
The COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking water. Conventional water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection, such as those in most municipal drinking water systems, should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.

How much bottled water should I have stored for an emergency?

FEMA recommends:
Store at least one gallon of water per person per day for three days, for drinking and sanitation. A normally active person needs about three quarters of a gallon of fluid daily, from water and other beverages. However, individual needs vary, depending on age, health, physical condition, activity, diet and climate. Take the following into account:
  • Children, nursing mothers and sick people may need more water.
  • A medical emergency might require additional water.
  • If you live in a warm weather climate more water may be necessary. In very hot temperatures, water needs can double.
Keep in mind that you can make your own bottled water at home and so never have to worry about running out with a Culligan Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System.

Where can I learn more?

The Water Quality Association has more details on different types of water-borne pathogens and their treatments.

If you have more questions about what’s in your home’s water supply in Eastern & Central Ontario and what are the best treatment options for you, contact us and one of our water treatment experts will schedule a time to visit your home and test your water.

There has been a Culligan water softener in my home for my entire life. My parents had one when I was growing up and I had one when I moved to my first home on my own. That was a home in the country which was on a well. When moving to a newly built home in town, one of the first calls was to Culligan to have a water softener installed. I can feel the difference when showering, washing my hair, my dishes, and my clothes.

I just wanted to thank you again for your visit today. I’m not only glad to know the softener is working fine, but very thankful for all the knowledge you shared. I now understand the overall system a lot better. Thanks, also, for taking the time to explain the chemistry

I just wanted to thank you again for your visit today. I’m not only glad to know the softener is working fine, but very thankful for all the knowledge you shared. I now understand the overall system a lot better. Thanks, also, for taking the time to explain the chemistry behind the process and why softened water feels “weird” with soap.

I wish all service calls were this pleasant!

Have a great day,

I contacted Culligan , Belleville branch online at the end of May 2020 regarding a concern about our water softener ( which we had purchased from a different vendor other than Culligan). Within 24 hours I received a text to advise someone would be in touch with me. I received a call from the technician Andy, whom I explained my dilemma to, and he offered to come to my home (at no cost) to check the water softener hookup and bypass lines. Within 2 days, Andy came and rechecked the complete installation of our water softener and made a recommendation for resolution to my concern. He was extremely thorough, knowledgeable and professional and provided me with exemplary Customer service. I am retiree who worked in customer service for 40 years and realize the importance of providing feedback to busineses particularly when someone goes above and beyond as Andy has done! Thank you so much Andy for your time and feedback, I will never forget it! I would recommend to anyone who is in the market for a water softener to contact Culligan first!

Testimonial *David Burke came on behalf of Culligan Water on a Saturday and took time to go through all our questions
in regards to replacing an old, failed system. The previous Quinte company, which will remain nameless, had left a very bad taste in our mouth with both poor equipment and customer service. David guided us to the right solution and within a week we had a new system, installed expertly with explanations by a friendly technician. It is also extremely good to know that the technology is developed by Culligan and they stand behind their product and service. I would recommend Culligan to anyone seeking to improve their water situation.

Woke up yesterday to soft water – so great! We appreciate all your efforts in helping us replace our defunct system. Your visits were informative and professional.
