Comprehensive Water Analysis
Comprehensive Water Quality Analysis
Whether your water source is municipal, well, or another supply, understanding its quality is essential. Two common situations highlight the need for thorough water testing:
1. Do You Suspect Excess Minerals in Your Water Source?
Municipal water systems often test for elements like iron and boron to provide a system-wide overview, but these tests may not reflect the conditions at your specific household faucet. Testing your water is the only reliable way to determine if unsafe mineral levels are present.
- Why Test?
- Confirm the presence or absence of excess minerals.
- Identify potential risks in your drinking water.
- Ensure the effectiveness of faucet or pitcher filters, selecting those certified by NSF International.
For more information on water safety, visit EPA Ground Water and Drinking Water.
2. Are You Considering a Home Water Treatment Unit?
Before investing in a home water treatment system, it’s crucial to understand what’s in your water. Informed decisions lead to more effective solutions tailored to your needs.
