Why Should I test my water?
We rely on water in more ways than we realize. We think it’s important to know what is in our water. Testing your water is the first step to fresher, better-tasting water every day. Keep you and your family healthy by testing your water.
What could be wrong with my water?
Some dissolved solids, heavy metals, minerals, and other impurities cause odors or odd tastes, and in some cases can even affect your health. Even more importantly, some water additives and impurities, like arsenic, cause problems you can’t taste, see, or smell.

Your water could contain:
Iron
Levels as low as 0.2 to 0.3 ppm will usually cause brown or reddish staining of laundry and plumbing fixtures. The presence of iron bacteria in water supplies will often cause these symptoms at even lower levels.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Solids refer to minerals, salts and metals dissolved in water. This includes anything present in the water other than pure water and suspended solids.
Chlorination
Chlorine is the most common solution used for disinfecting water. Biological contamination has two forms, pathogenic and non-pathogenic. All water supplies should be tested for biological content prior to use and consumption.
Arsenic
Causes stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, numbness in hands and feet, partial paralysis, and blindness. It can also cause damage to the skin, circulatory system, and increase the risk of cancer.
Nitrates
High levels of nitrates in drinking water can make you sick. Nitrates in your well water can come from animal waste, septic systems, flooded sewers, water runoff, fertilizers and decaying plants.
Turbidity
The higher the amount of total suspended solids (TSS) in the water, the higher the turbidity levels are, and the cloudier the water appears. It may be clay and silt from shoreline erosion, bottom sediments, or organic debris from stream and wastewater discharge.
