Why Should You Get A Free Water Test?

websitebuilder • Jun 15, 2021

What do you learn from a Free Water test?

Most companies that sell water treatment systems offer free water tests to show consumers what's in their water and to help them identify what kind of treatment system would be the most helpful. This process is very useful for companies like ours but you may be wondering how useful it will be for you. Here's a quick breakdown of what you'll gain from a free water test.

Peace Of Mind. Sometimes just having a good understanding of what is going on with your water can help you make plans and considerations in the future. If it turns out you don't need any water treatment, that's good information to know.
Health Related Issues. If you are someone who suffers from a specific skin condition or allergies you may have a more specific concern when it comes to water conditions.
Understanding What Solutions Will be Helpful. There are dozens and dozens of different water filtration systems and other products that treat water, but many of them are specialized for specific conditions. You won't know what will be helpful until you know what's in the water.
Private Water Supply Conditions Change. According to the EPA, it is recommended that you get your water tested yearly if your supply is coming from a private well. It is fairly common for the conditions of a well to change over time, so even if you don't test it yearly, it might be a good idea to get it checked every now and then.
Identify Odd Odors or Other Issues. This one is the most obvious, but if there is something visibly wrong with your water, if it tastes or smells off, you should really get it tested as soon as possible. If there is something harmful in your drinking supply, the sooner you know the better.

If you'd like a free water test today don't hesitate to give us a call at (585) 244-0099 or reach out directly on our website form. We'd be happy to talk you through the process and help you find the water treatment solutions you need.
