It might sound a little cliche for us to say this, but EVERYONE needs water quality testing. It’s something that can give you a lot of good information about what’s in your water. Since our basic tests are free with a plumbing diagnostic, it’s something we recommend to just about anyone who crosses our path. We especially recommend it if:
You may be wondering what causes all of these issues like bad tasting water or skin irritation. There are a lot of things that can end up in your water. They may not always cause major health problems, but they can still be irritating. We can order tests for just about anything under the sun. But here is what we test with our free water quality testing in Cornelius:
High Levels of Minerals
When water has a lot of minerals in it, it’s called “hard water.” Hard water isn’t dangerous, but you might not like the way it tastes. You’re especially not gonna like the white spots it puts on your faucets or the film it puts on your shiny shower door. It can even dry out your hair or make your skin itchy. We test for things like iron, calcium, and magnesium.
High Levels of Chlorine
You’ve probably taken a dip in a hot tub or pool that was filled with chlorinated water. We can handle a little bit of chlorine, but if you’ve got a lot of it in your water, it can start to affect your health over time. You might notice that your eyes burn or you cough a lot after a shower. Chlorine can end up in the steam of your shower and get into your lungs or eyes. Plus, it can cause skin rashes and other irritations.
Low or High pH
The pH of water can be a little tricky to explain. It’s a measurement that tells you how acidic or basic the water is. You don’t want your water to be too acidic or basic because then you’ll have problems with the taste and with the health of your plumbing.
A pH that’s too low means your water is too acidic. It’ll taste like someone added some vinegar to your water and it’ll corrode your pipes. A pH that’s too high means the water is too basic. It’ll put a nasty build-up on the inside of your pipes and give the water a bitter flavor.
You’ll get the results back from your water testing quickly. Once you do, you’ll have a lot of information about the quality of your water. If there’s something there that you don’t like, you may have some questions about what you can do about it.
The photometer water quality test is perfect for just about any home, but if you have major concerns about the safety of your water, we do offer an option that tests for 87 different parameters. Just call, text, or message us online to figure out which test is right for you!
We’d love to point you in the direction of any water filters, water softeners, or water purification systems that can help out in your case. Every situation is different so we like to go on a case by case basis.
