Next Steps After We Test Your Home's Water

A professional water test is essential to the health and comfort of your home but there are some uncertainties when it comes to exactly what happens after it’s completed. At Haferman Water Conditioning we offer water testing for Excelsior and the surrounding areas and are here to walk you through the whole process; from beginning to end and beyond.

For starters, if you are concerned about contaminants that may be present in your water, you should have your water tested. Leaving your water unchecked could lead to problems like gastrointestinal issues, hard or foul tasting water and a variety of other problems.

Hard fact: Hard water is present in 85% of homes in the US? Water testing can detect hard water as well.

When you decide that water testing is something you would like for your home, give us a call at Haferman Water Conditioning. One of our water testing experts will be out to your home right away. We will speak with you to determine what you’re looking for and set up an appointment for a water test.

Hard fact: Water testing will test hardness, iron, pH, and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).

It takes just a few minutes with an EPA approved testing kit. The water treatment representative will bring along a small water softener that will make soft water for a visual comparison of the benefits of soft water. And will then make recommendations based upon the results of the different tests. Other tests are available as well, so it is up to you if you wish to pursue them.

Once the water testing is complete, you will have the option of having a water treatment system installed in your home or a water softener. Your water treatment professional will have several models of treatment in stock, and can generally have a system installed within a few days.

This day in age, our health, especially as it relates to what we put into our bodies, calls for special attention to the water that we drink. Municipal or well-based drinking water should be tested so that you get only the very best for you and your family.

Dive in Deep: Getting to the Bottom of What’s In Your Water

Do you know what’s in your water? Eliminate the guesswork and find true peace of mind by learning what’s in the water you and your family drink and doing something about it. At Haferman Water Conditioning, we make it as easy as possible for you to know for sure.

Whether you rely on your city’s treated water or well water, it is a good idea to have your water tested. And, this way you know whether or not you need to install a water filtration system or water softener to improve the quality of your water water. And, though there are at-home tests, it is important to have water testing done by professionals. As experts in the industry, we have the right tools and knowledge to accurately test your water for a variety of impurities and chemicals. The importance of water testing at your Prior Lake home should not be overlooked: routine water testing can help improve the taste and quality of your water and keep you and your family safe. We’ve provided a rundown of the reasons to choose water testing for your home. 

Is it safe?

The most basic reason for water testing is to make sure your home’s water is safe for consumption. This is most important for households that use wells, but it can also be helpful to find out the quality of your municipal sourced water. And, if you live in an area with a great deal of agriculture, you will want to make sure you get your water tested because nitrates and pesticides can easily get into the soil and contaminate nearby wells.

Your water should be tested if:

• You notice a change in your water quality, like in smell or taste.
• You notice scaling or spots on your glassware.
• There is a pregnant woman or an infant under the age of six months living in your home.
• Your drinking water comes out of the tap with a cloudy appearance.
• Your area experiences a large flood or storm that might have affected the water quality.
• You recently had some type of maintenance or repair work done on your well.

Hard water problems?

Water testing can also help determine if your home has a hard water problem. While hard water is not unsafe for you and your loved ones to drink, it can decrease the life span of your water using appliances and make it more difficult for you to keep your bathroom and kitchen clean.

How often should you have your water tested?

There are no laws or regulations that dictate how often you should have water testing performed. As mentioned, there are a few indications that you should have this done, so it is up to you to determine when you should have your water tested and how frequently you should have it done.
