The Analysis

What we test at your tap

Our technician tests for eight common water quality parameters right at your faucet. Results are immediate, no lab wait.

Water Hardness

The most common Columbus water problem. High hardness causes scale, spotted dishes, and dry skin.

Iron and Manganese

Even low levels leave orange or brown stains on fixtures, laundry, and sinks.

pH and Acidity

Acidic water corrodes copper pipes and fixtures. We check your water's pH and explain what it means.

Chlorine and Chloramines

City water is treated with chlorine. We measure how much is still present at your tap.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

TDS measures the total concentration of dissolved substances. High TDS can affect taste and equipment.

Hydrogen Sulfide

The source of that rotten egg smell. Even small amounts are noticeable and unpleasant.

Nitrates

A concern primarily for well water. High nitrates are a health risk, especially for infants.

Bacteria

For well water customers, bacterial testing is available. Lab test option available for comprehensive results.

From Our Customers

What Columbus homeowners say about their water analysis

I scheduled online and they were at my house two days later. The technician was professional and patient. He tested eight different things and explained each one. I found out my well water had high iron, something I'd just been living with for years. Problem solved now.

Jennifer T.

Powell, Ohio

I expected a sales pitch. Instead I got a 40-minute education about my water. My city water was actually pretty good overall, just high in hardness and chlorine. I ended up getting a softener, but I never felt pushed. That matters to me.

Marcus L.

Gahanna, Ohio

They found bacteria in my well water that I had no idea about. Scary to think about, but I'm glad I know. They offered a lab test option for a deeper look. It was free to find out the problem existed, obviously I became a customer after that.

FAQ

Common questions about the free water analysis

Absolutely free. There is no cost for the analysis and no obligation to purchase anything. We charge nothing whether you become a customer or not.
About 30 to 45 minutes. We don't rush through it, and we make sure you understand every result before we leave.
Just run your water for about a minute before we arrive. That's it. We handle everything else.
No. Our reputation in Columbus depends on giving honest service. If you need a system, we'll tell you what and why. If you don't, we'll tell you that too.
It happens. Not every home has a serious water problem. If your water tests within acceptable ranges, we'll tell you that and you won't hear a sales pitch. We'd rather be honest and have you refer us to a neighbor later.
