Three questions. Everything else is derived from the groundwater record for your region — hardness, aquifer rock type, completion depth and well age.

Water Testing
Tap Score Canadian Essential Water Test
Nothing gets sized without numbers. Regional modelling puts hardness near 325 mg/L in carbonate rock (limestone/dolomite), but your own well can sit well off that median.
- Sizing
- Accredited lab panel: hardness, iron, manganese, nitrate, arsenic, total coliform and E. coli
- Equipment
- $349 CAD
- Annual Consumables
- $349 CAD
Iron, Manganese & Sulfur
SpringWell WS1 Air-Injection Iron & Manganese Filter
Dissolved iron and manganese are the routine complaint on carbonate rock (limestone/dolomite) wells — they stain fixtures and foul softener resin if not removed first.
- Sizing
- Air-injection oxidation, chemical-free, ahead of the softener
- Equipment
- $1,990 CAD
- Annual Consumables
- $60 CAD
Whole-Home Softening
SpringWell SS1 48,000 Grain Whole-Home Softener
At 325 mg/L (very hard) a 4-person household loads roughly 5.7k grains of hardness per day onto the plumbing.
- Sizing
- 52,000 grain metered capacity — about a 7-day regeneration cycle with reserve
- Equipment
- $1,690 CAD
- Annual Consumables
- $140 CAD
Pump & Pressure
Red Lion 1/2 HP 4" Submersible Well Pump, 12 GPM
Median well on record here is about 30 years old, and 38% predate 1995 — pumps in that cohort are at or past service life.
- Sizing
- 3/4 HP submersible, 4" casing
- Equipment
- $649 CAD
- Annual Consumables
- None
Pressure Tank
Amtrol Well-X-Trol WX-250 44-Gallon Stand Pressure Tank
A correctly sized pressure tank is what stops short-cycling from killing the new pump early.
- Sizing
- 44 gallon pre-charged tank, 30/50 psi switch
- Equipment
- $429 CAD
- Annual Consumables
- None
Installed cost adds roughly 15–25% for plumbing, bypass valves and drain lines when a licensed installer does the work. This page's URL carries your answers — copy it to share or revisit the plan.
