How to Test Your Water Quality

Are you concerned about your water? You use it to bathe, do laundry, and drink. Perhaps you’re concerned that it isn’t clean enough or that it’s too hard. Even if you are on municipal water, it can have issues such as too much or not enough chlorine. Other chemicals can also build up in municipal water, so if you are concerned about your water, here is the complete guide on how to test your water quality.

The short answer is yes, testing your water is always a good idea, especially if you suspect there are harmful microbes or chemicals present. If you are in doubt if your water is safe, then there is no doubt. You need to test it for you and your family’s health.

How to Test It?

There are a variety of ways to test your water to find out its level of quality:

Water Consumer Confidence Reports

If you have municipal water, then your supplier is required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to supply its customers with a water consumer confidence report each year by July 1st. If you did not receive one in the mail, you can simply go to the EPA website and search by state and city. It will tell you the source of your drinking water, the risk level of contaminants in the water, what the water utility is doing to deal with contamination, and how the water could impact your health.

DIY Water Testing

You can purchase a water testing kit online or from big box stores to check your water. Testing kits can be on the expensive side, some costing as much as $500. The downside to testing your own water is the accuracy of the tests and knowing the problem for which you are testing. There could be other issues present that your test kit doesn’t include. For instance, you could be testing for lead in your water, but the real issue is microbes living in your water. Do-it-yourself water testing can be risky because of accuracy and unknown problems.

Water Professionals

The best option to really understand what is in your water is to hire a water professional. They will be able to take a sample and thoroughly diagnose it. Once they have analyzed the sample, they will be able to explain to you what the issue is and how best to deal with it. They have the education and experience to understand the situation in ways that you, as a layman, won’t. Atlantic Coast Water Clinic offers free water testing for customers along the Nature Coast. All you need to do is fill out the brief form on this website’s homepage. We will examine the sample and contact you with the results when they are complete. We offer various water quality solutions ranging from water softeners to reverse osmosis water filters.

Don’t Risk Your Health

Don’t risk your or your family’s or pet’s health. Have your water tested to ensure it is free of contaminants such as lead and E.coli. Water is essential to your health and well-being; don’t take unnecessary risks by not testing your water.
