When to Test Your Water
Although municipal water is generally safe, it may not always be entirely clean due to potential issues with treatment facilities or your home’s plumbing system. Regular testing is particularly crucial if you rely on a private water supply or live in rural areas where pathogens are more likely due to limited treatment systems.
Consider testing your water in these situations:
- Buying a New Home: Test for bacteria, lead, iron, nitrates, sulfates, pH balance, and other potential health concerns.
- Lead Issues: Regular testing is essential if your home has aging lead pipes. While replacing lead pipes is the best solution, ensure your water is lead-free in the meantime.
- Illness: Unexplained health issues, especially gastrointestinal problems, could indicate high levels of bacteria or nitrates in your water.
- Stains and Corrosion: If your water causes staining or corrosion on fixtures, test for elevated levels of iron, manganese, and other metals.
- Odd Smell or Taste: Water should ideally be neutral in both taste and smell. Unusual characteristics may signal a pH imbalance, excess sodium, or high metal content.
Types of Water Testing
Water testing encompasses various methods. It is advisable to test your water annually as part of routine plumbing and filter maintenance to assess pH balance, bacteria levels, and total dissolved solids (TDS). Additional testing is recommended if you replace pipes or address significant plumbing issues.
Test for metals every 3 to 5 years, especially if you have young children, due to the risks associated with elevated nitrate levels.

Testing your water is vital for ensuring safe drinking water throughout the year.
