Well Filtration System Malaysia

Well Water Filtration 101

Well water is a naturally abundant, eco-friendly water solution for homes and businesses alike. The safety of well water primarily depends on geology, maintenance, and regular testing.  Many wells in Malaysia are an excellent source of clean water.  Contamination risks exist from industrial pollutants, bacteria/viruses, agricultural runoffs, and natural contaminants such as arsenic, radon, and heavy metals.

Before well water is approved safe for consumption, the well water must be tested for different parameters, including Bacteria, pH, Color, Turbidity, Odor, Nitrates, Nitrites, Hardness, Sodium, Iron, Manganese and Chloride. In case any of these parameters exceed acceptable limits, measures must be taken to correct the problem to ensure that your well water is safe for various uses.

Cubictech employs various methods, techniques, and equipment available to treat well water, making it potable and safe for consumption. In this regard, Cubictech common water treatments include water softener, Manganese Greensand Filter, Reverse Osmosis, Activated Carbon Filtration, Chlorination and UV Irradiation.

Water Softener System

These systems use advanced ion-exchange technology to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium, the culprits behind your water woes. As water flows through the system, special resin beads swap their sodium ions for the hardness minerals, delivering noticeably softer water inside plumbing system (pipe) and prolong clogging process inside the pipe.

When the resin becomes saturated, a simple regeneration cycle flushes it with brine (saltwater), washing away the accumulated hardness minerals and recharging the system for continued use. While this process slightly increases sodium content, the amount is minimal, comparable to a slice of bread per gallon. However, those with strict sodium restrictions may want to consult their doctor or consider potassium-based alternatives.

Manganese Greensand Filter

Manganese greensand filter is highly recommended for removing excess iron and manganese in well water.   Here’s the science behind the solution: As water flows through the special manganese dioxide-coated media, it triggers an instant oxidation reaction that traps dissolved iron and manganese particles, removing them completely from your water.

The system stays at peak performance through regular potassium permanganate backwashing, which rejuvenates the filter media while flushing away accumulated contaminants. This maintenance process is so effective that just one properly sized unit can handle iron levels up to 10-15 ppm and manganese up to 5 ppm, solving even serious water quality issues.

Important Installation Note: To protect your property’s wastewater systems, all backwash discharge must be routed to a dedicated dry well, never into septic systems. The high-volume backwash cycles could overwhelm septic systems, potentially causing costly failures and environmental concerns.

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis (RO) stands as one of the most effective well water purification technologies, capable of removing up to 99% of dissolved contaminants, including nitrates, sulfates, and chlorides. The process works by forcing pressurized water through an ultra-fine semipermeable membrane that acts like a microscopic sieve, allowing only pure water molecules to pass while rejecting harmful minerals and impurities.

For optimal performance, RO systems typically incorporate Pre-filtration (carbon/sediment filters) to protect the membrane, automatic flushing cycles to clean the membrane surface and post-treatment polishing for crystal-clear results.

Activated Carbon Filtration: Nature’s Purification Powerhouse

Activated carbon filtration stands as the unsung hero of well water treatment, leveraging nature’s purification process to deliver cleaner, better-tasting water. At its core, this technology works through adsorption, where contaminants stick to the porous surface of carbon particles like microscopic magnets.

Chlorination and UV Irradiation

For well water safety, two proven champions stand out: chlorination and UV irradiation, each offering unique advantages for microbial control. Chlorination remains the workhorse of water disinfection, effectively eliminating bacteria, algae, and odor-causing organisms throughout your entire water system.

Available in convenient liquid (sodium hypochlorite) or solid (calcium hypochlorite) forms, chlorine provides continuous protection as water flows through your pipes. While highly effective, its strong chemical nature often necessitates an activated carbon post-filter to remove residual chlorine taste, giving you clean, safe water without the chemical aftertaste.

For those seeking a chemical-free alternative, UV irradiation delivers impressive results. This advanced technology zaps bacteria with germicidal UV-C light, disrupting their DNA at the cellular level, much like sunlight’s natural disinfecting power, but supercharged. Modern UV systems feature low-maintenance designs with quartz-sleeved lamps that automatically treat water as it flows past. For peak performance, always pair UV with pre-filtration to eliminate turbidity that could shield microorganisms from the light.
