Six-Step Filtration

Your Vancouver Island property deserves water that's completely safe before it reaches your taps. At Canadaqua, we eliminate contaminants through our meticulous six-step filtration process—designed specifically for our region's diverse water sources, from Nanaimo well water to Victoria municipal supplies. Each stage builds on the last to deliver crystal-clear, great-tasting water for your home or business across Vancouver Island.

Quality Certification

At Canadaqua, our commitment to quality is unwavering. All our water treatment products and professional services adhere to the highest industry standards and carry necessary certifications. As a Nanaimo-based company serving Vancouver Island since 2002, we guarantee excellence in every system we design, install, and maintain for Island residents and businesses.

Uncompromising Purity

Our purification process exceeds industry standards to deliver the purest, healthiest drinking water possible for Vancouver Island homes. Whether you're in Nanaimo dealing with well water bacteria or in Victoria concerned about municipal contaminants, our multi-stage systems—including UV disinfection and reverse osmosis—ensure your water is microbiologically safe and free from harmful impurities.

Chlorine Elimination

While chlorine disinfects municipal water supplies across Vancouver Island, it creates unpleasant taste and odor in your drinking water. At Canadaqua, we specialize in removing chlorine after it's done its job—using advanced activated carbon filters and specialized cartridges that eliminate chlorine taste while preserving beneficial minerals. Enjoy fresh, clean-tasting water throughout your Nanaimo or Island home.

Mineral Composition

Magnesium & Hard Water

Magnesium contributes to water hardness—a common issue in central Vancouver Island areas including Nanaimo. Hard water causes scale buildup in appliances and reduces soap efficiency. Our water softeners effectively address this challenge while protecting your plumbing.

Mineralization

Proper mineralization maintains healthy levels of magnesium and calcium in your water—essential for taste and health as recommended by WHO standards. Our systems balance purification with mineral retention for optimal water quality across Vancouver Island homes.

pH Balance

pH controls your water's acidity or alkalinity. Low pH corrodes pipes; high pH causes scale. Our chemical feeders and specialized filtration media restore balance to protect your plumbing and improve water quality throughout your Nanaimo property.

Chlorine

Chlorine disinfects municipal water but affects taste and odor. Our activated carbon filters remove chlorine after treatment, delivering fresh-tasting water without compromising safety for Vancouver Island residents.

Sodium

Sodium plays a role in nerve function and fluid balance. Our softening systems carefully manage sodium levels to ensure treated water remains healthy and balanced for your family in Nanaimo or across the Island.

Calcium+

Calcium enhances water taste and stabilizes pH, but excess amounts cause limescale. Our softening systems maintain optimal calcium levels to protect appliances while preserving water quality for Vancouver Island homes.
