Things A Well Water Test Can Tell You

We use it for washing our clothes, dishes, and even bodies. More importantly though, we consume liters of it every day. Water is a vital utility that most of us don’t give much thought to, but understanding what’s in your water can do more to help keep your family safe. Our water treatment company reviews all of the ways you can use the information from your routine water tests to ensure that your drinking water is of the best quality, and that your well is working as expected.

Determine If Something Is Broken

Issues with your well can stem from something as big as the pump breaking down, which you’ll notice almost right away, to more minor problems, such as a broken well cap, which you may not see for months. Damages like these can expose your well water to an array of bacteria and contaminants. If your recent water test has shown an influx of unusual pollutants, it could be that a part of your well system needs to be checked out. A water well company can help you determine the cause for the issue and even provide water pump repairs.

Alert You To Contamination

Stormwater, infrastructure damage, and shifting water tables can all lead to unexpected contamination as well. The contamination may be something noticeable, such as changing the color, taste, or smell of your water, or it may be much harder to discern. Regularly scheduling a well water test will give you insider information on what’s happening underground, which can help you determine if you require new well drilling to avoid contaminated water.

Track Changes

Not all changes in your water require immediate attention, but tracking the data from multiple water tests over the years can help you determine growing patterns. It may be something as simple as needing an additional water softener, or it could alert you when levels of specific contaminants have become too high. This kind of monitoring is a powerful tool for homeowners who want more control over their water quality.
