Signs You Should Test Your Water Quality

Unusual Taste or Smell

Does your water smell like chlorine, metal, or rotten eggs? These odors could mean chemical imbalances, bacteria, or too many minerals.

Cloudy or Rust-Colored Water

If your water looks murky, amber, or brown, it might have sediment, iron, or rust from old pipes.

Limescale and Hard Water Buildup

Noticed a white film on your taps or dishes? Hard water deposits minerals that could shorten the life of your appliances.

Dry Skin, Hair, or Irritation

Too many minerals in your water can leave your skin dry, your hair brittle, and might even cause itching or discomfort after a shower.

Plumbing Problems & Pipe Corrosion

High mineral content can lead to plumbing issues and pipe corrosion, affecting your home's water system.

What Contaminants Do We Check For?

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.

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 or Low 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.

Are These Contaminants Dangerous?

It's normal to worry about contaminants in your water supply. We've all been there because we all want our loved ones to have the cleanest water. But try to relax and remember that not every contaminant is harmful. Some, like minerals or chlorine, might change the taste or feel of your water but aren't dangerous in small amounts.

The key is knowing what's in your water. Regular water quality testing in Cornelius helps identify any potential problems, so you're not left guessing or stressing. If something concerning is found, Morris-Jenkins is ready to help. We'll guide you through the results and suggest solutions to make sure your water is as clean and safe as possible for your family.
