IF YOU’VE MOVED

The quality of your water can vary depending on your water source and other environmental factors. A home water test can help determine what you’re dealing with and how to protect against future problems. If your new home has a water treatment system already, you should still test your water to ensure it's effective against any current issues.

IF YOU HAVE A PRIVATE WELL

Private wells are not regulated like municipal water systems, so those with well water are responsible for the safety of their own water supply. Common issues include high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which cause hard water problems such as dry skin, dry hair and buildup on pipes and faucets. Iron and sulfur are common problems, too.

IF YOU HAVE TASTE OR ODOR ISSUES

Between coffee at breakfast and pasta for dinner, there are plenty of ways you use water in the kitchen. Water with a foul odor or taste could make your culinary experience anything but enjoyable. For example, iron is known to leave a metallic aftertaste, while chlorine can create an unpleasant bleach smell.

IF YOU HAVE SPOTS, STAINS, OR BUILDUP

Common indictors of problems with your water also include unsightly stains in your sinks, buildup on your shower heads and spots on your dishes. If left unresolved, water issues can cause long-term damage to your water-using appliances, costing you more money and headaches.
