Private well owners and cottage owners across Canada can order ultraviolet water treatment equipment from Wahl Water, a company with its head office in Mindemoya on Manitoulin Island, Ontario. The business has worked in water treatment since 1995. Its customers include homeowners and cottage owners, as well as operators of small commercial sites such as campgrounds, motels and bed and breakfasts. Orders ship to every province and territory.Ultraviolet disinfection equipment makes up a large share of the company's product range. A UV light water filter sends water through a stainless steel chamber, where a lamp inside a quartz sleeve exposes the water to UV light. This process inactivates bacteria, viruses, and protozoa such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. UV light does not remove sediment, iron, hardness, or chemicals, so the company usually pairs each unit with a sediment filter. A softener or iron filter is added ahead of the UV chamber when the water test shows a need for one. Each system is sized to the property's flow rate in gallons per minute. Wahl Water also stocks replacement lamps, quartz sleeves, UV sensors and power supplies, and its UVSuperstore division handles orders for UV parts.
"Annual lamp replacement keeps a UV system working at its rated dose," a company spokesperson said. "We help each customer find the correct lamp and sleeve for their model, and we show them how to clean the sleeve and change the pre-filter. A lot of our customers live a long way from the nearest dealer. We keep parts on the shelf and ship them across Canada so those customers can look after their own systems with confidence."
Alongside UV equipment, the company sells water softeners, reverse osmosis units, filter housings and cartridges, Stenner chemical feed pumps and pressure tanks. It arranges water testing for bacteria and other parameters, including tests that lenders request during a property sale. Installation and maintenance services are available, and the team answers technical questions by email. Seasonal cottage owners can get guidance on draining equipment in the fall and restarting it in the spring, including when to sanitize the plumbing and install a new lamp before the first use of the season.
