Well and city water testing in Vero Beach Fort Pierce Sebastian - AquaTek Pro

When you think something is wrong with your water softener or some other part of your system, it is hard to tell exactly what is wrong with the system until we conduct a water test. The water test tells us if your system is not working properly. With the results of the water test we will know quite a bit about what is going on with the system.

Your water softener for example should remove hardness from the water, if hardness is showing after the system we know something needs to be checked on the water softener. We will compare your original water tests or if you are a new customer we will take a water test from water coming out of your well or your municipal water source and compare it to the test we took after your system.

Hardness (Total)

Iron

Chlorine

pH

Salinity

Nitrates

phosphates

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)

We do not test for Hydrogen Sulfide on Municipal water sources. Hydrogen Sulfide is driven off at water treatment plants during the digester process and aeration. Generally, Hydrogen Sulfide will escape from the water source at the treatment facility before it reaches your home through many miles of piping. The contaminants we do test for give us a real good idea regarding the quality of the water coming in from the source. If any item of our testing is abnormally high we would recommend and refer you to a wide range laboratory test which has a small cost or advise you to contact your municipal water supplier. If your water test shows nothing out of the ordinary or the results are typical for your area, we will recommend an appropriate product to decontaminate and make the water truly drinkable.

Water that comes from a municipal water treatment source can contain a wider range of contaminants than well water and we believe a greater concern should be given to municipal water. There are certain contaminants that are tested for and remove or at least, reduced to a safe level by municipal water treatment plants and those contaminants are regulated by the EPA. The list of contaminants that are not regulated but are on the EPA’s Contamination Candidate List is just as large as the contaminates that are regulated.

If your water source is a private well, a water test includes:

Hardness (Total)

Iron

pH

Salinity

Nitrates

phosphates

Hydrogen Sulfide (Sulfur)

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)

Water coming from a private well has to be examined differently than municipal water sources and each well is different from another. A well in the west part of your county will certainly test different than a well in the east part of the county. One well may have a high amount of iron and hardness and another well may have a high amount of hydrogen sulfide with little hardness. Every customer on a well has to be closely looked at, from the well, to the entry point of the residence or business. All equipment in line, such as the pump, pressure tank, sediment filters and piping can have their own issues also.

Wells do not contain as many possible chemical contaminants as municipal treated water, but generally suffer from larger amounts of a few. Well water is typically harder than municipal water and can contain hydrogen sulfide. high iron or tannins from decaying underground plant matter. Salinity near the coastal areas can pose issues and nitrates if levels are too high can cause problems for small children (blue baby syndrome). Through testing, we can determine what filtration equipment you need.

Most everyone on well water must have a water softener as a minimum amount of filtration due to the hardness of the water. Buying a water softener that is too small for the water perimeters can cost you a lot of money every year due to regenerating more frequent than a larger unit. Care should be taken when making this decision. If considering a new water softener, ask what the regeneration interval will be and how much salt it will consume in a month. If, a company cannot tell you that information, seek out a qualified company, that can.

This you can count on; we are always courteous and will tell you exactly what is wrong with your system or what type or size system you should have. We conduct a full maintenance check on your system when we a checking for problems! We will test your water and conduct a 28 point inspection of all your water conditioning equipment. We can run a maintenance check on any brand of equipment including; Culligan, Fleck, Clack, GE, Kenmore, and Kinetico.
