Beneath the surface
Private well · no public report exists
No public report exists for private wells. We test it free and build from what we find.
Some pockets out here turn out to be on a public system after all. If yours is, we pull that system's published report instead of testing blind.
The Well Water Corrective package is built from your own tap test: we check iron, sulfur, pH, hardness, and bacteria first, then match equipment to each finding.


Sediment settles in your water heater and lowers its efficiency, and chlorine and chloramine embrittle the rubber seals, gaskets, and hoses inside your appliances over time. Filtering the whole house is gentler on all of it.
U.S. Dept. of Energy Energy Saver; ASTM D6284.Well water changes house to house, sometimes street to street. Iron leaves orange staining in tubs and laundry, sulfur gas makes the rotten egg smell, and sediment wears on every fixture and appliance it passes through. None of that shows up in a public document, because there is no public document.
So we test your tap, free, and read the results with you: iron, sulfur, pH, hardness, and bacteria. The system we quote comes from those numbers. If your well runs hard, a softener goes in. If it does not, it does not.
