WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS
Do you know what's in your water?
Clear ≠ Clean
What you can’t see in your water could be affecting your health.
PFAS ("Forever Chemicals")
Man-made chemicals that don’t break down easily and accumulate in the body over time. Even very small amounts can build up in the body with long-term exposure.
Heavy Metals
Toxic elements, like Lead and Arsenic, that can leach into water from old pipes, industrial waste, and natural deposits. Heavy metals accumulate in the body and are difficult to eliminate naturally.
Chlorine and Chloramine
Disinfectants added to municipal water to kill bacteria. While helpful for sanitation, long-term exposure can stress the body.
Industrial runoff and agricultural chemicals
Chemical residues from farming, manufacturing, and fuel sources that contaminate groundwater. Many are designed to kill pests or microbes — and can affect human biology similarly at certain exposures.
Pharmaceutical Residue
Trace amounts of medications (antibiotics, hormones, antidepressants) that pass through wastewater treatment. Treatment plants are not designed to fully remove medications.
Microplastics
Tiny plastic particles now found in most water sources worldwide. They act like “toxin sponges” and can transport other harmful chemicals into your system.
Did you know?
There are two practical reasons to know what’s coming out of your tap.
1
It affects your body
If your water isn’t filtered, your body becomes the filter. Chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants have to be processed by your liver and kidneys, adding strain over time.
2
It protects your equipment
Water often contains minerals, sediment, chlorine, and other compounds. These leave deposits inside anything the water touches, leading to scale buildup, reduced efficiency, more repairs, and shorter lifespans for appliances and hydrogen devices.

FAQs
How long will it take to receive test results?
Turnaround time depends on the type of test determined was needed or wanted:
For our more typical tests, which test your pH, Alkalinity, Hardness, TDS, Iron, Chlorine, and Chloramine: Estimated 48–72 business hours
If you consulted with our experts and it was determined you needed a more advanced test, such as the Comprehensive Well Water or Bacteria Tests: Estimated 1–2 weeks
Once your tests have been completed at the lab, your consultant will reach out and review the results with you once they’re available.
Do I really need to test my water?
Water testing isn’t required for everyone, but it’s the only way to know exactly what’s in your water. We strongly recommend testing your water if you’re on well water, which tends to be more variable. Just like with medicine, treating water without knowing its composition can lead to unexpected side effects. Testing helps identify any issues and ensures you choose the right solution without guessing or over-treating.
What does the consultation include?
Our Water Quality Analysis is a one-on-one review using available data for your area to help identify common contaminants, water characteristics, and potential concerns. We know how important it is to understand what’s in your water, and our goal is to provide clear, personalized insights so you can feel confident about the safety and quality of water you have for you and your family.
What if my home is on a well?
If you have well water, a comprehensive well water test is recommended. The cost of this test can be credited toward a whole-home system if you decide to move forward. The test includes bacterial testing and analysis of the “Big 5” contaminants: arsenic, nitrates, sulfates, silicates, and tannins. You’ll also receive a custom engineered solution for any specific contaminant or aesthetic concern, along with Tier-1 engineering recommendations such as equipment sizing, system selection, and supporting drawings or renderings.
