Arsenic contamination is present in about 20% of drinking water wells in the Puget Sound region, with higher levels in the Snohomish County foothills around Lake Stevens, Arlington, Snohomish, and Granite Falls. Arsenic at problematic levels has been found in roughly 5% of water wells in our area. Through close relationships with water systems engineers, JKA has Well Drilling & Pumps has developed tried and true methods, approved by local jurisdictions such as Snohomish County Health Department, for removing and treating problematic levels of arsenic contamination in drinking water systems. If you haven't tested your water for arsenic, call JKA today to arrange for laboratory testing for arsenic, and follow-up testing for the engineering and design of a water treatment system if arsenic is found. Do you have engineered water treatment system plans that you need an installer for?

Water filtration is an essential element of any irrigation system. Irrigation systems require filtration to prevent unwanted debris and objects from entering the system where they can cause blockage or damage. Filters reduce the maintenance of a system and also help to extend the life of irrigation equipment. Sand is the number one culprit in damaging piping and other equipment. As sand or grit is washed through a system it can cause wear and tear on the parts, reducing the lifetime of the equipment. Some parts are more prone to the danger than others. Automatic valves have narrow channels and chambers that can become damaged by sand and grit in the water. Even a small grain of sand can disrupt a sprinkler nozzle resulting in uneven watering patterns and dry patches. Aside from sand, there are other contaminants that can disrupt irrigation systems. Organic materials such as iron bacteria and reducing bacteria can grow inside pipes until they block the flow or a detached piece of growth can block a nozzle, spray, or emitter. Even if they do not directly block the system organic growths can collect other debris that is flowing through until they become a large enough clump to cause a blockage. Water well rehabilitation or well cleaning may be required to remove iron bacteria or reducing bacteria that are causing the plugging of screens and well perforations.
