FAQs
Why should I schedule an in-home water test in Niota?
Municipal and well water in Niota can contain minerals (iron, manganese), hardness, sediment, and potential contaminants such as agricultural runoff or aging-pipe residues. An in-home test pinpoints your exact water quality at the tap, allowing us to recommend the right filtration or softening equipment instead of a one-size-fits-all solution.
What does your free water test include?
Our technician collects samples from your kitchen and outdoor spigots, then performs on-site analyses for hardness, iron, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), chlorine, and sulfur odors. We also take a sample back to our lab for bacteria screening (Total Coliform/E. coli) and heavy-metal testing when needed. You receive a printed report and explanation the same day.
How long does the water-testing appointment take?
Most visits last 30â45 minutes. On-site testing and discussion of results take about half an hour. If you choose optional lab analyses, we ship the sample immediately; those results are typically available within 3â5 business days and will be emailed or reviewed in personâyour choice.
If my water fails the test, what purification options do you offer?
We install NSF-certified systems sized for Niotaâs water conditions: whole-house carbon filters (chlorine/odor removal), reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking stations, UV disinfection for bacteria, iron/sulfur filters, and salt- or salt-free water softeners. Our plumbing team handles everythingâfrom permits to final pressure checksâso you have one point of contact.
Will a filtration system increase my utility bills?
Most systems use negligible electricity (about the same as a night-light) and regenerate based on actual water use to minimize salt and water waste. In many cases, homeowners save money by reducing bottled-water purchases, preventing scale damage to appliances, and using less soap and detergent in softened water.
How much does a complete test and purification installation cost?
Standard in-home testing is free. Lab screenings for lead, arsenic, or pesticides range from $40â$120 per parameter. Purification equipment varies by capacity: point-of-use RO units start at $450 installed, while whole-home systems average $1,800â$3,500. We provide a written, line-item estimate after testing, along with financing options and manufacturer warranties up to 10 years.
