Water Filtration Service Now Part of Contoocook Artesian Well Business

Making Well Water in New Hampshire Safer, More Appealing to Drink,
and More Productive for Cleaning and Heating



Henniker, NH, November 18, 2004 - Contoocook Artesian Well Company, a 67-year old water well drilling company, now offers a line of custom-built water filtration systems to help homeowners remove a range of contaminates and minerals from well and city water. To head up the filtration product line, the company brought on Larry Benjamin, an entrepreneur who has been engineering and installing water filtration systems for seven years.

"Often people perceive a problem when their water smells unappealing or stains appear in sinks, tubs, and toilets," says Benjamin. "But radon, arsenic, e-coli, nitrate, nitrite, and other minerals and contaminates can be present in unacceptably high levels and the homeowner wouldn't know unless the water was tested."

Exposure to arsenic in drinking water is of particular concern in New England, where soils and water in many regions naturally contain levels of arsenic that are substantially higher than those found in other areas of the United States. Arsenic has been classified by the Environmental Protection Agency as a cancer causing agent. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute.

"We recommend water testing as a starting point, so homeowners know exactly what they are drinking, bathing in, and cooking with," continues Benjamin. "When we know the issues of the water from a particular well, we custom-build a filtration system that precisely addresses not only the specific water quality issue, but also the water flow in a particular home. This is a benefit you can't get with an off-the-shelf water filtration or softening system."

More than half of the nation's water supplies come from wells. Minerals and other contaminates occur naturally in well water, but their presence in high levels affects the taste, usability, and corrosiveness of water. Water filtration systems can make water safer, more appealing to drink, and more productive for the cleaning, heating, and plumbing of a home.

Contoocook Artesian Well Co. also engineers reverse osmosis drinking water systems for homes that use public water. These systems can remove health-related contaminates such as arsenic and radium as well as contaminates that affect the taste, color, and odor of water.
