Common Water Issues We Test For
Hard Water
Hard water is caused by calcium and magnesium dissolved from Florida’s limestone aquifer. Testing confirms whether hard water is causing your scale buildup, dry skin, and spotting.
Chlorine and Disinfectants
Municipal water systems add chlorine to kill bacteria. Testing reveals chlorine levels and helps determine if a filtration system would improve taste and reduce chemical exposure.
Sediment and Turbidity
Cloudy water or visible particles indicate sediment. Testing measures sediment levels and identifies the source.
Lead and Heavy Metals
Older homes with lead pipes or fixtures may have elevated lead levels. Testing identifies heavy metals and other contaminants.
Iron and Manganese
These minerals can cause metallic taste, staining on fixtures, and discolored water. Testing identifies their presence and concentration.
Sulfur (Hydrogen Sulfide)
The rotten egg smell in some water is caused by hydrogen sulfide gas. Testing confirms if this is the source of the odor, especially common in well water.
pH Levels
Water that is too acidic or too alkaline can corrode pipes or cause other issues. Testing measures pH to ensure your water is balanced.
Bacteria and Coliform
For well water, bacterial testing is essential. We test for coliform bacteria and other microorganisms that could affect your family’s health.
