[QUOTE="Mount, post: 6768087, member: 146366"] We installed a bore hole in 2012. It is 220 meters deep and draws the water from the chalk under London. We have no mains water on the farm, nearest main is 1/2 a mile away. We supply drinking water to 4 of our own properties, none of which have access to the mains supply. The Council have recently tested the water. There is no contamination at all, BUT, the Sodium level is 210 mg/Lt ( max aloud = 200). The Fluoride level is 2.8 mg/Lt (max aloud = 1.4). Both are naturally occurring from the chalk aquifer. We are required by the local authority to rectify the problem. The estimate for the work is over £22,000. Seems a lot to take out 10 mg/lt of sodium and 1.4 mg/lt of Fluoride. I don’t think we have a choice. Probably cheaper to connect to the mains. Does anyone have any experience with this? [/QUOTE]
