Drinking Water Contaminants

Understanding what’s in your water is the first step to finding the right solution. Even municipal water can contain harmful contaminants, while well water often comes with its own set of challenges.

Common Contaminants & Concerns:

• PFAS/PFOS & Microplastics – Linked to long-term health risks and require specialized filtration.
• Lead – A major concern in older plumbing, particularly in schools and businesses.
• Chlorine & Chloramines – Affects taste, odor, and can cause skin irritation.
• Hard Water (Calcium & Magnesium) – Leads to scale buildup in appliances and plumbing.
• Iron & Sulfur – Causes staining, unpleasant metallic tastes, and rotten egg odors.
• Bacteria & Viruses – Common in well water and older plumbing systems.

Water Testing & Analysis

Not sure what’s in your water? We offer a free 4-part water analysis to help identify common water quality concerns. This initial test provides key indicators that allow us to recommend the best filtration and treatment options.

Free 4-Part Water Text Includes:

• Hardness Levels (Calcium & Magnesium)
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) – Measures overall water purity
• Chlorine & Chemical Presence
• Basic Contaminant Indicators (Helps determine if further testing is needed)
  

Well Water Testing & Advanced Lab Analysis

For well water systems, additional testing may be necessary. While our free 4-part test helps us identify common issues, well water can contain bacteria, heavy metals, nitrates, and other contaminants that require more in-depth analysis.

• If further testing is needed, we offer comprehensive laboratory water testing through our partner lab in Ohio.
• We have hundreds of different testing protocols at our disposal, allowing us to customize testing based on your water source and concerns.
• Lab testing is a paid service, but it provides detailed, accurate results to ensure the right treatment is applied.
