FAQs
Why is professional water analysis important for Pelham homeowners?
Pelham’s water can come from either municipal supplies or private wells, both of which may pick up minerals, possible bacteria, or trace contaminants on the way to your tap. A laboratory-grade analysis pinpoints what is actually in your water—hardness, pH, chlorine, lead, iron, manganese, nitrates, coliform bacteria, and more—so that we can design a purification system that targets real problems instead of relying on guesswork. Accurate data protects your family’s health, prevents plumbing damage, and ensures you meet local and state water-quality guidelines.
What water-quality issues do you most often find in Pelham?
The most common issues we detect are moderate-to-high hardness (calcium and magnesium), elevated iron and manganese that stain fixtures, slight acidity that corrodes copper piping, chlorine/chloramine taste from municipal treatment, and occasional lead or copper pickup in older service lines. In well water, we sometimes see coliform bacteria, sulfur odors, and higher sediment levels. Every home’s water chemistry is different, which is why we always test before recommending equipment.
What exactly do you test for during a standard water analysis?
Our core panel covers hardness, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), iron, manganese, sulfur, chlorine/chloramine, turbidity, and lead/copper where applicable. For private wells we add nitrate/nitrite, coliform & E. coli screening, and a metals scan (arsenic, mercury). If you have specific concerns—PFAS, pharmaceuticals, or radon in water—we can include advanced testing through our certified partner lab and interpret the results for you.
How do you choose the right purification system once the analysis is complete?
We match treatment technology to the contaminants identified. For hardness we install demand-initiated water softeners; for iron, manganese, and sulfur we use air-injection oxidation or green-sand filtration; chlorine/chloramine and taste issues are handled with catalytic carbon; low pH is corrected with calcite neutralizers; and lead or PFAS require high-capacity point-of-use reverse osmosis membranes. All systems are sized to your home’s flow rate and water usage to ensure constant pressure and efficiency.
How often should I retest my water or service my purification equipment?
We recommend a full water analysis every 12 months for private wells and every 24 months for municipal users, or sooner if you notice changes in taste, odor, or staining. Softener resin, carbon media, and UV lamps typically need inspection or replacement annually. Reverse osmosis filters are changed every 6–12 months, membranes every 2–3 years. Regular service keeps water quality consistent and extends the life of the equipment.
Are there environmentally friendly or low-maintenance purification options?
Yes. We offer salt-free scale conditioners that reduce hardness scaling without brine discharge, catalytic-carbon systems made from renewable coconut shell, and smart softeners that use up to 40 % less salt and water by regenerating only when needed. UV disinfection provides chemical-free bacteria control, and high-recovery reverse osmosis systems minimize wastewater. We’ll balance performance, sustainability, and operating cost to find the most eco-conscious solution for your home.
