PFAS
Invisible - best confirmed with a lab test
Recommended tests: PFAS panel (lab)
Corrosive Water / Low pH
Blue/green staining, pinhole leaks, metallic taste
Recommended tests: pH, alkalinity, copper/lead, hardness
Sulfur Smell / Hydrogen Sulfide
“Rotten egg” odor (hot or cold water)
Recommended tests: hydrogen sulfide, iron, sulfur bacteria screen
Radon in Water

No pressure -
We will help you understand what your water is telling you.
Why the $59 evaluation is worth it
The evaluation is the best way to confirm what is actually causing the problem and make sure any equipment recommendation fits your home. It helps prevent wrong-size or wrong-fit installs - especially when water issues overlap.
-
Verify installation concerns and site constraints
-
Confirm source water compatibility with equipment requirements
-
Check for iron-related bacteria (IRB) when relevant
-
Review pH stability, alkalinity, hardness range, tannins, and turbidity
-
Verify Coliform Bacteria absences
-
Confirm available service flow rate
If you purchase equipment without an evaluation, most items should be verified upon delivery.
