When you shower, you inhale steam. Your skin also absorbs some of that shower water. The problem is that you’re not just putting H2O in your body. You’re also taking in anything that the water picked up on its way to your water line. Usually, it’s just a few harmless minerals, but even these can cause problems if there are too many. If you’re concerned about what’s in your water, Morris-Jenkins has residential water quality testing in Belmont to help you figure it out.
Does your water smell like chlorine, metal, or rotten eggs? These smells could mean there are chemical imbalances, bacteria, or too many minerals.
If your water looks murky, amber, or brown, it might be full of sediment, iron, or rust from old pipes.
Noticed a white film on your taps or dishes? Hard water leaves minerals that can shorten the life of your appliances.
High mineral levels in your water can lead to dry skin, brittle hair, and might even cause itching or irritation after a shower.
High levels of minerals in your water can lead to dry skin, fragile hair, and may even provoke itching or discomfort post-shower.

When your water is being treated, chlorine is used to get rid of some of the nastier things that can end up in water like bacteria or parasites. While you definitely don’t want those floating around in your drinking water, sometimes chlorine is used a little too enthusiastically and you could end up with a lot of it in your water. Chlorine isn’t a great thing to bathe in every day. It can soak through your pores. It can even end up in your lungs. Its low boiling point means it could be in the steam you’re breathing in from your shower.
Some minerals end up naturally in your water. Iron, magnesium, and calcium are some of the most common. While these things are good for you, it’s easier to absorb them through food than through your drinking water. Minerals can be frustrating when there are a lot of them because they can stain your faucets, make your shower walls impossible to clean, and can even put yellow stains on your clothes.
If you’ve ever tried a sip of vinegar on its own, you’ll know what it’s like to drink something acidic. Something acidic has a low pH. On the opposite side, you have alkaline liquids which have a high pH. You don’t want your water too far on either side. When your water is too acidic, it’ll corrode your pipes faster and taste a little sour. When it’s too alkaline, it’ll clog up your pipes with extra build-up and can affect your water pressure. Our free test will check the pH of your water.
It's natural to worry about contaminants getting into your water supply. We've all been there, wanting nothing but the purest water for our loved ones. But, take a moment and remember that not all contaminants pose a threat. Some, like minerals or chlorine, might change the taste or feel of your water, but they're not harmful in small amounts.
The key is knowing what's in your water. Routine water quality testing in Belmont helps identify any potential problems, so you don't have to guess or stress. If we find something concerning, Morris-Jenkins is ready to help. We'll walk you through the findings and suggest solutions to make sure your water is as clean and safe as can be for your family.
So you’ve had your water tested, and the results have shown that you have too much chlorine, too many minerals, or a pH that’s too high or too low. What should you do next? We’ll walk you through it. For high chlorine levels, you’ll need a filter. A good filter can remove enough chlorine to make it safer and better tasting. For a high pH, you’ll need an acid injector. For a low pH, you can add a filter that neutralizes the acid. Finally, you can use a water softener to fix your hard water.
