FAQs
Why should I have my water tested in Jacksboro?
While Jacksboro’s municipal supply meets federal requirements, local plumbing, aging infrastructure, agricultural runoff, and naturally occurring minerals can still influence what comes out of your tap. A professional test pinpoints issues such as hard-water scale, iron staining, sulfur odor, bacteria, or potential contaminants like nitrates and lead, giving you the data needed to choose the right purification or softening solution.
What contaminants are commonly found in Jacksboro’s water supply?
The most frequent concerns we find include high hardness (calcium and magnesium), iron and manganese (orange or black staining), hydrogen-sulfide gas (rotten-egg odor), elevated total dissolved solids (TDS), and, in some well systems, coliform or E. coli bacteria. Trace amounts of pesticides, nitrates, or lead can occasionally appear, especially in rural areas or older homes with legacy plumbing.
How does the in-home water testing process work?
1) Schedule an appointment—our licensed technician arrives at your Jacksboro address. 2) We collect samples at the kitchen sink and, if applicable, the well head or outside spigots. 3) On-site field tests give instant readings for pH, hardness, iron, TDS, chlorine, and sulfur. 4) For microbial or heavy-metal analysis, we send sealed samples to a certified laboratory. 5) Within 3–5 business days you receive a clear, written report plus a consultation explaining the results and recommended next steps.
What water purification options do you offer after the test?
Depending on the findings we may install: • Whole-house water softeners to eliminate hardness and scale. • Iron/sulfur filtration systems using air-induction or manganese-greensand media. • Reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking-water units for lead, nitrates, and dissolved solids. • UV disinfection lamps for bacteria. • Carbon filtration to remove chlorine taste, odors, and trace chemicals. Every system is sized for your home’s flow rate and water chemistry, ensuring efficient, long-term performance.
How often should I test my well or municipal water?
For private wells, the CDC recommends annual testing for bacteria, nitrates, and pH, plus a comprehensive mineral scan every 3–5 years or after any major flooding or drilling work. If you’re on Jacksboro city water, a full in-home test every 2–3 years—or sooner if you notice changes in taste, color, or staining—helps catch issues caused by plumbing corrosion or new construction in the area.
Is water-purification maintenance difficult and what does it involve?
Most systems require minimal upkeep: softeners need salt refills every 1–2 months; RO units need filter changes annually and membrane replacement every 3–5 years; iron or sulfur filters may need media replenishment every 5–7 years; UV lamps are swapped yearly. We offer affordable maintenance plans and can bundle service with your yearly water test, so you never have to track schedules or handle parts yourself.
