Our take

When to test your well, beyond once a year

We build our systems with our own manufacturers, some with our own patents, and we've supplied softeners to other water companies for years. Here's what that's taught us.

The CDC says test a private well at least once a year. We'd add a few other times: when you buy a home with a well; after flooding near the wellhead; when the taste, smell or color changes; after work on the well or pump; and if someone in the house is pregnant or has a new baby, because nitrates matter most for infants.

Some things, like bacteria, need special sampling and fast lab times. If your results or your situation call for it, our expert will tell you exactly what extra testing makes sense. [Confirm lab capabilities.]
