Clean, safe drinking water is essential for your health - yet many Winnipeg homeowners assume that water from the tap is automatically free from all contaminants. While Winnipeg has high-quality municipal water, it can still pick up impurities from aging plumbing systems, seasonal changes, and mineral buildup before it reaches your glass.

At Argo Plumbing, we believe every family deserves to feel confident about what they’re drinking. Here’s why water quality testing and filtration are so crucial for Winnipeg homes.
1. Why You Should Test Your Drinking Water
Over time, water can carry substances you may not notice:
Sediment & rust particles from old pipes
Chlorine taste or odour from treatment processes
Lead or copper from plumbing components
Bacteria or organic matter during seasonal changes
A professional in-lab water test can identify these issues accurately, helping you choose the right filtration solution for your needs.
2. Benefits of Installing a Drinking Water Filter
Once you know what’s in your water, a filtration system can:
Remove harmful contaminants
Improve taste and smell
Protect appliances from mineral scale buildup
Provide cleaner, healthier water for drinking, cooking, and even pet care
At Argo Plumbing, we install high-quality drinking water filters and whole-home filtration solutions tailored to Winnipeg’s water conditions.
3. Why Winnipeg Homes Need Extra Attention
Our city’s water is sourced from Shoal Lake and treated before distribution - but the journey through neighbourhood pipes and in-home plumbing can affect quality. This is especially true for older houses with galvanized or copper pipes, where trace metals or sediment may be present.
