Timmins municipal water has Slightly Hard Our customer’s in the area are averaging 3-4 Grains/ US Gallon (50-70 mg/l). This means that the water hardness is fairly low for Ontario, however it can be enough to cause scale build up in your pipes, and cause possible damage to your hot water tank, dishwasher and shower heads. Aquapura carries a number of water softeners which can effectively and economically treat your water hardness problems with ease and little to no maintenance.
Aquapura’s Canadian assembled Purifiner PDS Water Softener can soften your water and remove calcium with minimal maintenance. All PDS Series water softeners come equipped with automatic backwashing Erie rotary heads which can be customized to each individual’s needs. These water softeners are plug and play and do not contain filters or screens that need to be cleaned or replaced and this added convenience can save you time and money.
Our water softeners use only the highest quality resin. They contain a bed of the Carbochem CA-12 Water Softener Exchange Resin with 10% cross linked resin. This high quality resin lasts longer than the standard resin used in the majority of water softeners on the market. Additionally, this resin is more resistant to the harsher chemicals being put into the water in some municipalities. So far, this is not a problem for the residents of Timmins, however the municipality may follow suite of other’s like York Region and Peel Region where Chloramines are now present in the water. This chemical compound is enough to turn traditional resin into mush. As a preventative maintenance, we automatically upgrade our water softeners to the higher chemical resistant resin if they are being installed where water is supplied by the town or city.
Aquapura’s Fusion 2 Water Softeners are an economical solution to soften your water and remove calcium. All Fusion 2 series water softeners come equipped with automatic backwashing Clack WS1 control valves which can be customized to each individual’s needs.

elevated levels of chlorine, chloramines and THMs has the potential to damage your household appliances and more importantly, your body. Studies indicate that these chemicals may cause you to feel symtoms such as; itchy skin, dryness, burning sensations in the nose throat etc. There are also suggestions that prolonged contact with chloramines and THMs may lead to kidney, colon or stomach cancer. Aquapura offers several solutions for removing / reducing chlorine, chloramines and THMs in Alliston.
*Although we are capable of building mixed-bed Softeners/Chlorine removal systems, we strongly recommend against these systems for a variety of reasons.
Aquapura’s Canadian assembled Purifiner Automatic Backwashing Catalytic Carbon Filter is one of the best options for removing/reducing chlorine, chloramines and THMs. Catalytic carbon has many benefits over traditional activated carbon , which is used most of the chlorine filter systems on the market. The catalytic carbon is more efficient in converting chlorine and chloramines into less harmful compounds, which are then expelled during the unit’s regeneration. The catalytic carbon filter also has a much greate capacity for chloramine removal/ reduction. The Purifiner automatic backwashing catalytic carbon filter is our most popular option for chlorine, chloramine and THM removal/reduction in Alliston.
Aquapura’s Canadian assembled Purifiner Automatic Backwashing Carbon Filter is another option for removing/reducing chlorine, chloramines and THMs. This system would compare with the most commononly used carbon filters on the market. The activated carbon filter will remove/reduce chlorine and THMs, but has a lower reduction capacity with chloramines. Additionally, chloramines can reduce the life of regular activated carbon to an extent. We recommend the Purifiner Automatic Backwashing Carbon Filter more for those who do not have chloramine in their water.

Timmins municipal water is no exception as the water does contain traces of fluoride, nitrates, trihalomethanes, arsenic etc. Aquapura offers a variety of Reverse Osmosis Systems to help reduce and even remove these contaminants from your drinking water.

This R.O system is capable of producing up to 75 gallons per day and comes with a bigger 3.2 gallon storage tank. As a bonus, this unit also comes with a Leak Stop Safety Flow Interuptor! This safeguard can prevent leaks by cutting off the R.O water supply when a leak is detected.

Certain residents of Timmins may not get their water from the municipality, but instead obtain their water through private wells, lakes etc. A concern with this is that the water may not be treated with chlorine or other chemicals in order to inactivated bacteria. This means that there is the potential for bacteria to be present in private water sources.
