Water Testing Services
Consistent Water Pressure, No Matter The Demand
Even if your well water looks and smells fine, it can still carry contaminants that pose health risks or damage plumbing over time. Tri-County Pumps offers testing services customized to your specific property and water source, enabling you to make informed decisions about water treatment or system maintenance with confidence.
Why Homeowners Trust Tri-County Pumps Water Testing Services
Bacteria Testing
Coliform bacteria are common indicators of potential contamination from waste or runoff. Testing for total coliform and E. coli helps us identify whether your water may be unsafe to use. Our testing supports peace of mind, especially in homes with infants or residents with compromised immune systems.
Chemical Analysis
Water can carry traces of harmful chemicals like nitrates from fertilizers, or volatile organics from industrial or residential runoff. Chemical analysis helps detect these substances early, especially if you live near farms, aging septic systems, or flood-prone areas where leaching is more likely.
Mineral Content Testing
Testing for iron, manganese, and other minerals is recommended when you notice staining on fixtures or laundry. These minerals can cause aesthetic issues, impact taste, and over time, lead to a buildup in plumbing systems. Understanding the concentrations helps guide any needed filtration or treatment steps.
Heavy Metal Screening
Trace levels of arsenic, lead, or other heavy metals may originate from soil, rock, or aging plumbing. We screen for metals known to cause long-term health problems. Engaging in this type of testing is especially important for private well owners, who lack the oversight that public water systems receive.
pH & Alkalinity Testing
Low or high pH can damage plumbing and affect how your water interacts with appliances or treatment systems. Measuring pH and alkalinity provides insight into water balance and can signal whether corrosive conditions or scaling risks exist in your supply.
What Is Our Water Testing Process?
We follow a proven process from sampling to recommendations, delivering useful insights and actionable results to work from.
Sample Collection
Water samples are gathered at the source and at various points throughout your plumbing system for proper comparison.
Laboratory Analysis
Samples are sent to a certified laboratory, where they are tested using EPA-approved methods to maintain accuracy and consistency.
Results Interpretation
We review the full lab report, identify any red flags, and explain what each number or substance actually means.
Treatment Recommendations
Based on the results and your household needs, we provide options to improve water quality with filtration, conditioning, or disinfection systems.
Solution Implementation
Once a plan is in place, our technicians install or adjust the right equipment to address all of the specific concerns found.
Follow-up Testing
We offer retesting after treatment to confirm that the water quality meets current health standards and resolves any prior issues.
