Vashon Island Water Testing
10/27/2023
Hi Vashon,
I got a call from a woman this morning seeking help with her multi-home well water system. The system serves 22 homes and in the course of the conversation she told me they had already spent $40k+ on a chlorine injection system because the well has consistently tested positive for coliform bacteria. The bummer is that that money is already spent because using the Arc-2 Filter system would have saved them about $26k. The Arc-2 uses a proven, patented electrolysis cell that removes any-and-all biological contaminants, and pretty much everything else. It doesn’t remove minerals and it does also impart other beneficial qualities. It is best in class.
The Arc-2 is the larger model used for multi-home, industrial, agricultural, etc. (larger) systems while the Arc-1 does the same thing but is scaled for whole-home use.
This is just the good kind of technological improvement (not the kind that takes your job). It is a comprehensive water filtration system that is cheaper, smaller, easier maintenance and more beneficial than legacy systems.
If you’re aware that you need to filter your well water (or tap water as most tap as it contains chlorine residues like hex 5, 6, and chloramine) – please contact me before you spend the money on the old way of doing water filtration.

TW: The below post is informative but is just really gross. It deals with accidentally drinking gross stuff that got into a water storage tank. Only read on if you are OK with that.
Hey Vashon,
It's definitely a good idea to inspect your well water system including any storage tanks, the well head, pressure tanks, etc. Several things can happen in the dynamic environment. This time it was....
Mice.
I tested the water for a sweet couple recently and it came back positive for coliform bacteria but (somehow) negative for E. Coli. I came back to shock their well/tank and upon inspections found a hole mice had chewed in the lid to they're 3000 tank. Eek.
At that moment I somehow thought ~a~ mouse, one mouse had gotten in and trapped in the tank. We repaired the mouse hole.
Upon draining, I became aware that the lowest 24 inches of the tank was in rough shape and would need to be cleaned. When the murky water got low enough *smack* I could see 5-8 mouse bodies at the bottom in varying states of decay.
I had to get into the tank to clean and sanitize it. When I was able to get closer, I found the stains of several more mice - a total of 15? That had met their end in these great peoples water supply. Eek.
I took care of it all and they're in good shape but for the benefit of everyone else, yall should know that the water never tasted or smelled off. Their was a slow development that was getting worse and worse.
When I tested their was no E. Coli but their definitely was at some point. One of the couple has had health issues that may or may not be related. Hopefully those issues will dissappear now their water is safe again.
Moral of the story is that testing and inspection is a good idea. A stitch in time... might keep you from having things get much worse, perhaps quickly.
Here are several gross pics for all the inquiring minds.
Take care Vashon.
