Household Drinking Water
Reasons to test your drinking water
- Changes in Color or Odor - There are many reasons your water may be yellow, brown or smell like rotten eggs or sulfur. Some of those reasons are safe, others not so much, but there is only one way to find out.
- Before Installing a filtration system - understand what you're actually treating. Understanding what’s in your water can narrow your choices and save you money in the long run.
- Local water concerns - Everything from natural disasters (floods, hurricanes, wildfires) to municipal mismanagement can allow contaminants to creep into your water supply.
- Old plumbing or infrastructure - Drinking water traveling through old pipes can pickup lead, copper and bacteria along the way.
- Family Health & Safety - Contaminants in our drinking water can cause everything from chronic illness to pregnancy complications and often exist without visible evidence. Testing is the only way to provide peace of mind.

Rainwater Analysis
While rainwater often begins very clean, it may pick up an array of metals, minerals, and bacteria as it collects and transports through a rainwater collection system. If safely configured, rainwater harvesting can provide high-quality water for drinking, livestock, and irrigation. Testing harvested rainwater is always advised to ensure safety and can help you make informed decisions regarding additional treatment (if needed).
