F.A.Q.
Most reputable water treatment companies offer free testing for aesthetic issues like Iron, Manganese, Hardness and other nuisance minerals that can damage fixtures and laundry. Our approach to sales is low pressure. We will test the water, give you a recommendation and quote; and the rest is up to you.
We can help you with this testing but it must be done at an accredited lab and there are costs involved. Contact us using the form on the right side of this page for pricing and time-lines
Get an on-site and lab test done well before any closing dates. You'll need a clear water test for mortgage approval and to keep buyers happy. Call 902-789-8378 or use the form on the right to schedule an appointment.
Most of these problems are easy to deal with. Some solutions cost quite a bit and others can be very cheap do-it-yourself corrections.
Yes!! The really complicated part of the job is the water testing, system design and sizing of the treatment gear. Most competent handy-people can install the unit(s) themselves. Savings vary but on a small water softener, you might save $200 or more! Of course, we also install and service this equipment.
No. Part of our business model is to keep overhead as low as possible so prices are also kept low. However, we do open our shop to the public by appointment. If you need something like a new UV lamp or some filters, please call, text or email and we will make it possible for you to pick up what you need.
Safewater Services will install, deliver or ship what you need. We have a low-cost mail order service for small parts like filter cartridges, conditioner parts and UV lamps. We will also hand deliver softeners and other larger materials like pump systems for DIY applications. This service is free within 75kms of Halifax/Dartmouth and a small charge will be levied for deliveries to more distant locales.
The Nova Scotia Department of the Environment has an excellent series of publications to help you. Information on how to chlorinate (shock) a well and how a well are constructed along with water treatment suggestions are available an free. Here is a link to the website.

As of July 1st, 2020, a disposal fee of $4.35 has been introduced for each purchased UV lamp. Despite this fee not being dictated by provincial or federal laws, it is still taxable. The fee accounts for the precise cost and care needed to aptly discard UV lamps.
Disposing thousands of old UV and fluorescent lamps in landfills exacerbates mercury contamination in groundwater and soil. We trust our clients to appreciate that this charge guarantees the correct handling of hazardous substances. UV bulbs are recycled exclusively at Dan X Recycling Ltd. We are committed to environmental care, and we hope you share our dedication.
Savage Lake Safewater Services Limited offers some of the lowest water treatment equipment prices in Nova Scotia. We do this by keeping overhead as low as possible and using a modest cost-plus pricing program. When our suppliers offer specials or discounts, we pass those savings on to you, our valued clients.
We do not accept any credit cards. The added cost of service charges, interest and increased administrative expenses would cause our prices to rise. If you have to use a credit card, get a cash advance and save the difference between our prices and our competitor's prices.
We accept personal cheques, money orders, cash and e-transfers. All our work is "payment on delivery" and again, we do this to save you money. You might be surprised at how much extra you have to pay so some people can get 30 or 45 day terms.
