Fast, Straightforward Testing

How Water Quality Testing Works

1. We Learn About Your Water

We start by understanding where your water comes from, the concerns you are experiencing, and what you would like to improve.

2. We Collect and Test Your Water

A sample is tested using professional SpinTouch technology. The test can evaluate multiple water quality parameters at the same time.

3. Get Real-Time Results

SpinTouch results are available on the spot, generally within about two minutes of collecting the sample.

4. We Explain What the Results Mean

We review the findings with you in plain language so you understand what is happening with your water and whether anything needs attention.

5. Explore Your Options

If treatment could improve your water, we can recommend appropriate solutions based on your water quality, home, priorities and budget. There is no pressure or obligation to purchase equipment.

Your Water Can Look Fine and Still Need Attention - Don’t Guess. Test.

Clear water is not necessarily problem-free water.

Water quality can vary considerably between municipal systems, private wells, and properties drawing from lakes or other sources. Testing provides the information needed to properly assess your water rather than relying on appearance, taste or assumptions. Better Water Co. recommends periodic testing, with annual testing providing homeowners an opportunity to identify developing concerns before they become larger problems.

Real Testing Leads to Better Solutions

The Right Diagnosis Makes the Difference

A Better Water Co. customer was dealing with well water that was coming into the home red and brown. At first glance, it appeared to be a straightforward iron problem.

Additional testing revealed the presence of iron bacteria.

That distinction was important. A conventional iron filter alone would not have properly addressed the problem. By identifying the actual cause first, Better Water Co. was able to properly size and configure the treatment equipment for the home and ultimately produce clear water.

The lesson is simple: the right water treatment starts with the right test.
