What This Test Measures

This comprehensive analysis includes:

• pH – Indicates if your water is acidic or alkaline.

• Iron – High levels may cause reddish stains on laundry, sinks, and fixtures.

• Manganese – Can create brown or black stains on plumbing, laundry, and appliances.

• Hardness – Measures calcium and magnesium that cause scale buildup on fixtures, appliances, and pipes.

• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) – Indicates overall mineral content; high levels can make water taste salty or metallic.

• Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) – A key measure of your water’s ability to oxidize contaminants.

• Tannins – If your water is discolored OR has elevated iron levels we will also test for tannin.  Not all water samples require tannin testing. Tannin is naturally occurring organics that can discolor water with a tea-like appearance and cause unpleasant taste or odor.

Why Test Your Well Water?

• Prevent Stains & Damage – Reduce costly plumbing and appliance repairs.

• Select the Right Treatment System – Get precise results to match the right water filter, softener, or treatment system for your home.
