Enjoy Quality Well Water
Available ONLY at Ottawa Valley / Pontiac, QC
Are you tired of dealing with the poor quality of your well water? Does it have an unpleasant odor resembling rotten eggs, or is it leaving stains on your household fixtures, dishes, and laundry? At MacKinnon Water Solutions, we offer a range of water treatment systems to address these issues and improve the overall quality of your water.
Our water treatment solutions are designed to be convenient, affordable, and environmentally friendly. Whether you require mechanical filtration, UV protection, reverse osmosis nano-filtration, water softening, or the removal of uranium or dissolved solids, we have the right solution for your home or business.
MacKinnon Water Solutions specializes in the installation, repair, maintenance, and servicing of various water treatment systems, including water softeners, conditioners, and accessories such as:
- Solution Series Water Conditioner
- Advance Series Ultraviolet Rack Systems
- Advance Series Water Softener
- Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Systems
- Advance Series Backwash Filters
To ensure the optimal performance of your water treatment system, we offer service packages that include scheduled preventative maintenance visits, ensuring your equipment operates at full capacity year-round. Trust MacKinnon Water Solutions to provide comprehensive care for your water treatment needs.
Solution Series Water Conditioner
Solution Series water treatment systems by Greenway Water Technologies combine patented self-chlorinating technology with advanced electronics to perform like four units in one: softening, removing iron and manganese, and raising low pH levels. This self-sanitizing system also controls odors caused by nuisance bacteria and minor sulfur conditions.
Advance Series Ultraviolet Rack Systems
Greenway UV systems are designed with compact, high-grade stainless steel chambers that house efficient, colour-coded UV lamps. UV water disinfection is a natural process which does not add any chemicals into your water, nor alter the water chemistry. Ultraviolet light energy inactivates harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses (i.e. Ecoli) by disrupting the DNA, effectively preventing them from multiplying and causing illness.
LE Series Water Softener
The LE Series water softener is designed to provide high flow rates over a wide range of applications. State-of-the-art technology helps reduce film build-up on your fixtures and wall tiles, hard-water spotting on glassware and dishes, and scale build-up on water lines, dishwashers, boilers and hot water tanks. Use up to 50% less detergent and soap, lower your energy and operational costs, reduce your use of cleaning agents and chemicals, and protect your septic system from chemical waste.
Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Systems
Reverse Osmosis (RO) offers a convenient, affordable, environmentally sound alternative to bottled water. While today’s tap water can contain a broad range of impurities and contaminants, this system tackles the broadest spectrum of water impurities possible. RO filtration reduces impurities from bacteria, viruses, pesticides and odour while dissolving metals like lead, arsenic and iron.
LE Series Backwash Filters
Backwash filters are an environmentally friendly way of removing iron, hydrogen sulphide and odors from your water supply. The LE Series requires minimal operating costs, in most cases requiring only water to regenerate. And since no chemicals are discharged to your septic system, the process leaves a small footprint.

Optimize Your Pressure System
Available at BOTH of our Ottawa Valley / Pontiac, QC and Muskoka / North Bay Locations
Are you finding yourself having to carefully manage your water usage due to an unreliable water flow from your existing system? Traditional well water systems typically utilize a single-speed motor and pump to transport water from the well to your home. However, with a standard pressure system, you may encounter fluctuations in water pressure, especially when multiple fixtures are in use simultaneously.
These fluctuations in water pressure and flow can be further exacerbated by factors such as low well levels, increased water usage, the addition of new fixtures, or the installation of irrigation systems. But there’s a solution.
By upgrading to the right pressure system, you can bid farewell to scheduling your well water use while enhancing the efficiency and value of your home or business operation. We’re here to help you understand the difference between a regular and constant pressure system and recommend the best fit for your needs.
With a constant pressure system installed by MacKinnon Water Solutions, your system will operate seamlessly. It adjusts the speed of your well water pump to match any demand, ensuring a steady and consistent water flow throughout your property. Say goodbye to water flow worries and hello to uninterrupted water supply.

Align Your Water Tank and Pump
Available at BOTH of our Ottawa Valley / Pontiac, QC and Muskoka / North Bay Locations

- Flex-Lite Composite Water Storage Tank: Ideal for indoor use, this tank provides reliable water storage.

How Old Is Your Water Pump?
Do you know the age of your well pump? When was the last time it received service? If your submersible pump is over 20 years old, it’s prudent to have it inspected to avoid the inconvenience of a sudden loss of water supply.
Investing in a new well water pump not only enhances efficiency but also guards against wear and tear, ensuring optimal performance even in harsh conditions and prolonging its lifespan.
At MacKinnon Water Solutions, we specialize in supplying, installing, replacing, and repairing various types of pump systems for both new and existing wells. For new installations, we highly recommend the state-of-the-art Franklin Electric line of FPS 3200 Series submersible water pumps.
Whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or farmer, our team will conduct a thorough site assessment and recommend the ideal submersible pump for your specific needs, including any optional upgrades that may be beneficial. Trust us to provide reliable water solutions tailored to your requirements.

Prevent Well Contamination
Is your drilled well at risk of contamination due to its underground cap? Before the introduction of the pitless adapter in 1985, drilled wells were typically capped below the frost line within a concrete pit. However, if the pit is not kept dry at all times, your water supply becomes vulnerable to contamination.
At MacKinnon Water Solutions, we offer a solution by upgrading your well with a pitless adapter. This involves extending the casing so that the cap sits above ground level. Additionally, we mound the surrounding earth to ensure that potentially harmful contaminants and debris flow away from the well casing.
Upgrading your well with a pitless adapter not only safeguards water quality but also facilitates easier access for maintenance and repair purposes. Trust MacKinnon Water Solutions to protect the integrity of your water supply and ensure peace of mind for your household or business.

- We offer safe and cost-effective hydrofracturing services designed to enhance and rejuvenate existing low-yield drilled wells.
- Hydrofracturing entails the injection of highly pressurized water into the well casing, effectively opening up obstructed water seams and accessing new ones linked to the primary aquifer.
- By opting for hydrofracturing, you can anticipate improvements in your well water flow rates, and system lifespan.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are the steps to getting a well installed?
First step after contacting our company, a site survey will be required to determine the well location and to make sure access to the location is sufficient for our equipment (over hanging trees, firm ground, etc.) We also have to make sure we are in compliance with Ministry Regulations, such as septic systems and road allowances. Once that is determined the next step is to schedule in and book the drilling of the well. On the completion of the well, a pump test will be done (usually not the same day). Final step is the scheduling of the pump and pressure system.
How long does it take to get a well constructed?
On average, half a day upwards of two days depending on the depth.
What is an Environmental Package?
The Environmental package that will appear on your invoice, consists of the vermin proof cap for the top of the casing, grouting of the 10″ hole in accordance with MOE standards, and a drive shoe that stays at the bottom of your well.
How deep is my well going to be?
MacKinnon Water Solutions Ltd. bases their quotes on depths of the wells in your property’s immediate area. Sometimes, your neighbours well is a good indicator of the depth that your well could possibly be. There have been instances where neighbouring properties have wells that widely vary to yours, either by being shallow or deeper than yours. Since it is impossible to see what is in the ground, this is the only way an estimated depth can be calculated.
Will the driller go deeper if water is found at a shallow depth?
No, once MacKinnon Water Solutions finds water, they will stop drilling as long as there is a sufficient amount of water to supply a residential building.
What is the difference between a constant pressure system and a conventional system?
Constant pressure supplies a constant desired pressure throughout the building with little to no pressure loss, where as a Conventional system’s pressure fluctuates.
Does the price of the well include the pump and pressure system?
No, because not all wells are the same. That is why a more accurate quote can be given after the well and pump test is complete.
Do I need to be involved for any of the well/pump/pressure system?
Customer involvement is not required unless for your own curiosity. The only step that may require customer attendance is during the pump and pressure system install for access to buildings for the install team.
Can I schedule my well for a specific day?
Although we try our best to schedule your well for specific days, unfortunately jobs can either take longer or quicker than expected, so this would impact the scheduling.
Can I build something to cover/hide my well?
Yes, as long as it is easily removable for service work. We also have Mock Rocks in store for viewing and purchase.
When should I take a water sample for potability?
We generally recommend taking your potability sample two weeks after the well has been drilled. You can contact your local Health Unit for details.
My water sample came back bad, is that normal?
If you did not receive any actual coliform or e-coli bacteria numbers and receive a letter stating “overgrown with bacteria often found in the environment”, they might not have gotten to the testing on time, or there could also be some clarity issues, such as possible iron in the water.
When should I consider water treatment with my new well?
It usually takes two weeks or so of consistent use for the water to become balanced. From there we can take a sample for the possibility of water treatment options.
Is there any yearly maintenance required for a drilled well system?
Normally, there is no set maintenance required for your drilled well.
