The problem

In coastal areas and deep boreholes, water can contain excess chlorides and sodium. Salty water tastes bad, corrodes pipes, boilers and appliances, and is not suitable as long-term drinking water. Ordinary filters do not remove dissolved salts – we use reverse osmosis, sized according to the water’s conductivity and chloride content.

Our solution

Together we determine your needs, supply suitable equipment or materials, install them and keep the system running with maintenance. We have 15 years of experience in water treatment and work across Estonia.

Price

Price depends on water quality, required capacity and installation scope. We prepare an exact quote after a water analysis or site details.

Service area

We are based in Tartu County (Rehepapi põik 3, Soinaste küla, Kambja vald) and mainly serve Tartu and Harju counties – Tartu, Tallinn and the surrounding areas. We also travel to sites anywhere in Estonia.

Water with unpleasant smell or taste

Sulphur, iron or musty smells and tastes come from substances in the water that the right filter can remove.

Microbiologically contaminated water

Bacteria in drinking water are a health risk, especially in well water after flooding or when the well is in poor condition.

Frequently asked questions: Salty water

Why is my well water salty?

Salinity can come from the influence of seawater in coastal areas, from deeper aquifers or from the soil. Salty water is often caused by high chloride and sodium levels.

Can salty water be treated for drinking?

Yes. Reverse osmosis is suitable for removing dissolved salts and removes most of them. A water softener does not remove salt from water.

Is a reverse osmosis unit suitable for the whole house?

It can be installed for kitchen drinking water or for the whole house. A whole-house solution needs a larger unit and storage tank, and we choose the right solution based on the water analysis and consumption.

Does salty water damage equipment?

High chloride levels can increase corrosion of metals in pipework and equipment. That is why it is worth analysing salinity and treating the water where necessary.
