Expensive breakdowns of water-using appliances. Spotty dishes and glassware. Water from the tap that looks, smells, or tastes funny. What does it all mean? There are ways you can test your own home water, such as getting a test kit from your local hardware store, but finding out what’s in your water and knowing how to fix it are two separate things. Enter a professional, in-home water consultation.
During an in-home consultation, a professional will test to determine your:
- Water hardness
- Water pH
- Common water contaminants
Following the test, and taking into account your preferences and feedback, the professional will offer recommendations of how to go about fixing your water problems.
Who Should Have Their Water Tested?
Professional water consultations are usually free, including ones from EcoWater and its extensive network of dealers spread across North America, so they are a risk-free way to address your water concerns without getting saddled with a financial commitment you may not be ready to make. The following people should have their water tested:
- New homeowners. Even if your new home came with a water treatment system, having a professional come out to test your water and check if your system is up to date will ensure you’re set up for continued success.
- Homeowners with a private water source or well. Unless your water comes from a municipality, no one is going to test your water without you asking.
- Homeowners who notice a change in their water quality. Your contaminants and water hardness level can change over time. Confirm you’re on top of things with a home water test.
If you’re on city water, your municipality is required to test the water supply and release the test results annually — this happens in the spring or early summer. If you haven’t been mailed a copy of the results in the last calendar year, contact your local water municipality for more information.
Municipal water is required to meet the National Primary Drinking Water Standards, but you may have stricter requirements than those imposed by the government. In addition, much of the contamination usually occurs after water leaves municipal treatment facilities, en route to homes and businesses, meaning your home water has different contaminants from someone living on another street in your municipality.
In-home water consultations are also helpful for homeowners looking to maximize the efficiency of their already existing water treatment system. Water hardness and contaminants can change over time, so it’s important to react accordingly if you notice a change in your home water.
The bottom line: Anyone who’s concerned about the quality of their home water should have it tested.
What Are the Benefits of a Professional Water Consultation?
By testing your home water for hardness, contaminants and pH, you’ll do more than identify your water quality issues, you’ll have the opportunity to address them. With a professional water consultation, gain peace of mind, improve your health and well-being and if you add a treatment system to your home you may even save money over time by preventing future water-related problems.
