Why Testing Matters

Unlike city water, private well water isn't monitored by anyone but you. Testing tells you whether your water is safe and what's causing issues like staining, odor, or scale. It's a good idea to test annually, and any time you notice a change in taste, smell, or clarity — or when buying a property with a well.

What the Common Results Mean

Hardness means dissolved minerals that scale your pipes and dull your laundry — solved with a softener. Iron causes orange staining and metallic taste. A rotten-egg smell usually means sulfur. Sediment means the well may need attention. Bacterial results matter most for safety. Each has a specific, proven fix.

  • Hardness → water softener
  • Iron → iron filtration
  • Sulfur odor → specialized filtration
  • Bacteria → shock chlorination & treatment
