If you notice strange colors, odors or tastes coming from your tap water, you almost certainly want to have your water tested to find out the cause. But what about homeowners who have never suspected any problems with their water? As it turns out, water testing is a good idea for any homeowner in the Greater Philadelphia. Today we’re going to talk about why water testing is important and the benefits of having your water tested (for free!) by EPA Water Consultants!
Why is water testing important in your home?
- Get answers to suspected problems. As we mentioned above, many people choose to have their water tested because there are noticeable problems with their water. By analyzing what’s in your water , we can let you know which contaminants are causing your water to taste, smell or look strange.
- Know about unnoticeable contaminants. There are many water contaminants that are odorless, tasteless and/or invisible to the naked eye. So even if you don’t think that your water has any quality issues, it might actually contain contaminants (some of which can be dangerous to your health) that would otherwise go unnoticed without having your water tested.
- Learn about the possible health risks with your water. It’s important to know about the possible health risks that your water might pose to you and your family. As they say, “knowledge is power.” By knowing what’s in your water, you might be able to connect certain family health issues with your water quality, and you can use that information to choose a filtration system that will prevent those issues.
- Find out what treatment system is best. Speaking of choosing a filtration system, having your water tested is the best way to figure out which type of treatment system is right for your home. By knowing the exact levels and types of contaminants in your water, you can use that information to pick the system that will solve your home’s specific quality issues.
- Ease your mind. Have you been hearing about water quality issues in the news? Has your city recently been under a boil order? Is someone in your family experiencing health problems that you can’t seem to explain? Having your water tested is a great way to ease your anxiety about issues like these. Even if you find out that your water is of high quality, you won’t lose anything by having it tested and your mind can be at ease about your home’s water quality.
