Regardless of your water source, here are two situations that may require testing:
Do you suspect excess minerals may be in your water source?
Most water municipalities test for iron, boron and other elements as a regular part of water monitoring. These tests give a system-wide picture, but do not reflect conditions at a specific household faucet. If you want to know if your home’s drinking water contains unsafe levels of these elements, have your water tested.
Testing is the only way to confirm if these elements is present or absent. Some faucet and pitcher filters can remove minerals from drinking water. If you use a filter to remove minerals, be sure you get one that is certified by NSF International. For more information, visit www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water.
Are you considering a home water treatment unit?
Find out what is in your water and what you might want to remove before contacting potential dealers. Be informed so you can make the right decisions.
