What is water treatment?
Water treatment can improve water quality by reducing common impurities and addressing household water concerns.
The right solution depends on your home and water, including:
- Local water characteristics
- Where your water comes from, such as municipal water or a private well
- Your home’s plumbing and fixtures
- Your household’s needs and preferences
Do I need water treatment in Manitoba?
Municipal water is treated, but some homeowners still choose home water treatment to improve the everyday experience of their water, including its taste, smell, clarity and how it behaves in showers, laundry and dishes.

Home water treatment and purification options for Manitoba
We offer several options to meet your unique water treatment needs.
Reverse osmosis
A reverse osmosis system provides treated water for drinking and cooking from a dedicated tap.
It can help improve the taste, smell and clarity of the water you use most often.
Whole home filters
A home water-filtration system can treat water entering the home or serve a particular point of use, depending on the equipment and household need.
The appropriate filtration system depends on your water source, test results and what you want to address.
Water softeners
A water softener is designed to reduce hardness minerals that can contribute to scale and residue.
Water hardness can vary by community and water source, so homeowners should test their water rather than assume that a softener is necessary.
How would you like to improve your water?
Instead of focusing only on what may be wrong, start with what you would like to improve.
