Test for these Contaminants in Your Water

Bacteria: Strains of E. Coli cause serious illness or death, especially in children.

Lead: This heavy metal causes developmental damage in children, as well as neurological and kidney damage in all ages.

Nitrates/nitrites: Come from fertilizers and animal waste. They can developmental problems in children.

Chlorine: By-products can increase cancer risk; it’s bad for your skin and eyes, and it makes your water taste and smell bad.

Hardness: Causes lime scale and higher detergent use.

pH: High acidity in your water can cause lead and other heavy metals to leach from pipes and water mains, and can also damage your plumbing.
