FAQs
What does an in-home water analysis in Thorn Hill involve?
Our certified technician visits your home, draws samples from multiple taps, and performs on-site tests for pH, hardness, chlorine, metals, nitrates, and total dissolved solids (TDS). We also collect samples for lab-grade testing of bacteria, lead, and emerging contaminants such as PFAS. The entire appointment takes about 45–60 minutes, and you receive an easy-to-read report explaining every result and recommended purification options.
Why should I have my Thorn Hill tap water tested if I’m already on a municipal supply?
While Thorn Hill’s municipal water meets provincial safety standards when it leaves the treatment plant, it can pick up contaminants as it travels through aging mains and household plumbing. Local factors such as construction, seasonal runoff, and older galvanized pipes may introduce lead, rust, or sediments. An in-home analysis identifies issues specific to your property so you can address them proactively rather than relying solely on system-wide data.
How much does professional in-home water testing and purification consultation cost?
A standard Thorn Hill in-home analysis starts at $149, which includes on-site screening, certified lab testing for bacteria and lead, and a detailed report. If you decide to install a recommended filtration or softening system with us, we credit the full testing fee toward your purchase. Custom or extensive contaminant panels (e.g., PFAS, VOCs) are available at an additional cost, disclosed upfront before any sampling is done.
What purification solutions do you offer after the analysis?
Based on your results and household needs, we may suggest point-of-use systems like reverse osmosis (RO) for drinking water, whole-home carbon filtration for chlorine and taste, UV sterilizers for bacteria, or water softeners for high hardness. All equipment is NSF/ANSI certified, sized for Thorn Hill water pressure, and installed by our licensed plumbers. We provide maintenance plans, filter reminders, and a one-year workmanship warranty on every installation.
Will a filtration system affect my home’s water pressure or require major plumbing changes?
Most modern purification units are compact and designed for minimal flow restriction. Our team evaluates your current plumbing layout during the analysis and recommends systems with adequate flow rates for Thorn Hill’s typical 50–70 psi household pressure. In the majority of cases, installation is completed within half a day without wall demolition. If pipe rerouting or pressure boosting is necessary, we provide a clear written estimate before any work begins.
How often should I retest my water after installing a purification system?
We suggest a follow-up test six months after installation to verify system performance, then annually thereafter. Cartridge-based filters typically need replacement every 6–12 months, RO membranes every 2–3 years, and UV lamps yearly. Regular testing ensures your system continues to meet Health Canada guidelines and allows us to adjust maintenance schedules based on Thorn Hill’s seasonal water quality fluctuations.
