Water is essential for survival, and it’s essential for comfortable living, too. You need a steady supply of clean water to drink, to bathe in, and to clean your clothes, dishes, and your home in general. A problem with your home’s water supply creates serious issues for all aspects of your daily life, but fortunately, our team at Progressive Water Solutions LLC is here to help you prevent these issues and to deal with them when they occur.
One of the many services we offer is water testing, and in this article, we’ll go over a few reasons why you might want to get your water tested.
- Your Water Leaves Stains – If the water from your taps is leaving stains on your plumbing, on your dishes, or anywhere else, then we encourage you to schedule water testing as soon as possible. In this case, we will test your water for hardness, or a high content of calcium or magnesium particles. If we determine your water is hard, we can solve the problem by installing water softeners for you.
- Your Water Tastes or Smells Bad – Pure water is odorless and tasteless, so if your water has an unpleasant taste or smell, then you should schedule water testing right away. This problem usually indicates your water contains contaminants, such as metals. Our team can install a purification system to remove these contaminants, keeping your family safe and making your water taste clean and fresh.
- You Live Near a Mine, Landfill, or Farm – Lastly, we encourage you to schedule regular water testing if you live near certain industrial operations, such as mines, natural gas drilling sites, agricultural operations, factories, landfills, or even dry cleaners. All these industries use hazardous chemicals that can get into the water supply. Our team can determine if any such chemicals are present in your water, and we can provide purification systems to get rid of them.
