WELL DRILLING & WATER SYSTEM CONTRACTORS
SAVING THE WORLD'S WATER: ONE WELL ATA TIME
Water is referred to as our most precious resource. Without it, life as we know it would
cease to exist on earth. However, we are polluting the water in some areas faster than
nature can clean it up. Water acts as a solvent, absorbing impurities and contaminants
such as minerals, chemicals, heavy metals and disinfectants (used to make the water
bacterially safe but unpleasant to taste). This makes it vitally important that we take care of
the water that we have. Protect it from pollution, conserve it, and refine it when need be to
secure safe water for our use in the future.
With 85 years in the Water Well Drilling business W.D. HOPPER & SONS LTD. offers
some of the best products to help you succeed in the battle against problem water such as
Grundfos stainless steel water pumps, Ecowater water conditioning products, and Water
Factory reverse osmosis units. W.D. HOPPER & SONS LTD. provides quality water
systems for residential, commercial, agriculture and industrial applications.
In 1915 Wm. D. Hopper established the well drilling business. This firm is now guided by
Neil & Durl Hopper with their sons Ron, Paul and Shawn who are 3rd generation operatives.
As recognized specialists at locating suitable water sources, and tapping into those
resources, they are willing to meet with you and discuss your water needs. They use the
latest drilling techniques and pump systems to meet or exceed M.O.E Specs and efficiently
provide the water toxyour home and eventually to your taps. They continue to provide
prompt, reliable service with the most up-to-date drilling equipment as well as servicing
wells along with pumping equipment, drinking water filters and softeners.
Their large product line of water equipment will help you reduce most contaminants in your
drinking water. Water softeners remove minerals such as calcium and magnesium that
cause hard water. Iron filters reduce iron from the water to reduce deposits and stains on
sinks, tubs and clothing. Taste and odour filters remove objectionable tastes and odours
from water, while Reverse Osmosis units remove most unwanted impurities. In addition the
Grundfos stainless steel pumps provide an efficient pumping systems solution for every
application. Their Grundfos pump products include stainless steel pumps, variable speed
constant pressure pumps, and stainless booster pumps. From their large in house inventory
they can provide you a quality long lasting water system.
