FAQs
Why is professional water analysis important for homes and businesses in Harrison?
Harrison’s drinking water comes from both municipal treatment facilities and private wells. While the municipal supply meets state safety standards at the plant, it can pick up lead, copper, or sediment as it travels through aging pipes. Well water can be affected by iron, manganese, hardness minerals, bacteria, or agricultural runoff. A certified water analysis identifies the exact contaminants in your building’s water so we can recommend the right purification technology instead of guessing or over-treating. Accurate testing protects your family’s health, extends appliance life, and ensures you comply with any real-estate or health-department requirements.
What contaminants do you most often find in Harrison’s water during testing?
Our lab reports frequently detect: • Hardness minerals (calcium & magnesium) that leave scale and reduce soap efficiency. • Iron and manganese, which stain fixtures and cause metallic tastes. • Chlorine and chloramine residuals from municipal disinfection, linked to dry skin and unpleasant odor. • Lead and copper from older service lines and household plumbing. • Nitrates from lawn fertilizers in some shallow wells. • Coliform or E. coli bacteria in private wells after flooding. • PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ and micro-plastics in select neighborhoods. Knowing which of these is present—and at what concentration—lets us tailor a solution instead of applying a one-size-fits-all filter.
How does your water analysis service work from start to finish?
1. Scheduling: Call or book online for a free on-site consultation. 2. Sample collection: Our licensed technician draws samples from the kitchen tap and, if you have a well, directly from the pressure tank to avoid bias. 3. Field tests: We run immediate checks for hardness, TDS, iron, pH, and chlorine right in your home so you see results on the spot. 4. Lab tests: The sealed samples are overnighted to our state-certified laboratory for heavy-metal, bacteria, nitrate, PFAS, and VOC panels. 5. Report review: Within 3–5 business days you receive an easy-to-read digital report plus a call from our water specialist who explains each parameter and answers questions. 6. Solution proposal: If issues are found, we design a purification system and provide a no-pressure quote. All test data remain yours whether or not you proceed.
What water purification systems do you offer based on analysis results?
We carry a full line of U.S.-made, NSF/ANSI-certified equipment, including: • High-efficiency water softeners for hardness, iron, and manganese removal. • Whole-house carbon or catalytic filters to reduce chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, and PFAS. • Reverse osmosis (RO) drinking-water stations that remove up to 99% of dissolved solids, lead, nitrates, and micro-plastics. • UV disinfection systems that neutralize bacteria and viruses without chemicals. • Specialty cartridges for arsenic, fluoride, or tannin problems. All units are sized to your home’s flow rate and water chemistry, ensuring optimal performance and low operating cost.
How often should I test my water and service the purification equipment?
We recommend a comprehensive water analysis every 12–24 months for municipal customers and every 12 months for private-well owners, or immediately after flooding, construction, or plumbing repairs. Once a purification system is installed, annual maintenance keeps it operating efficiently: • Softener: add salt and check settings every 3–6 months; full service annually. • Carbon/whole-house filter: media change every 3–5 years, depending on usage and contaminant load. • RO: replace pre/post filters yearly and the membrane every 2–3 years. • UV: change the lamp annually and clean the quartz sleeve. Regular testing verifies that the equipment continues to meet water-quality goals.
Are your water purification solutions certified, eco-friendly, and backed by warranty?
Yes. All systems we install carry current NSF/ANSI certifications for their claimed contaminant reductions and meet New York State Department of Health standards. Our softeners use demand-initiated regeneration to minimize salt and water waste, and our carbon filters are refillable rather than disposable. Reverse osmosis units come with water-saving permeate pumps upon request. We provide a written warranty—typically 10 years on tanks and valves, 5 years on electronics, and 1 year on labor—plus a 100-day satisfaction guarantee. We also offer salt-free and zero-waste options for customers seeking the lowest environmental impact.
