When should I have my water tested?

If you want to know what is in your water and determine which treatment solution is appropriate for your home or business, testing is essential. You should test your water at least once a year if you use private well water and whenever you notice:

• Staining
• Spotty dishes
• Limescale
• Poor taste, smell, or clarity
• Discoloration
• Unexplained stomach illness in the home

It’s also wise to test after flooding or heavy rains in your area, nearby construction, local contamination alerts, or after well system repairs.
