Well Water Testing and Treatment
Private well water in this part of New Jersey commonly carries iron, manganese, hardness, and low pH, and some areas have arsenic or radon. Testing tells you what is actually in your water before anyone sells you equipment.

Testing first, then treatment
Why test
Treatment equipment is chosen from lab results. Installing a softener when the problem is pH or iron bacteria solves nothing.
Hardness
Calcium and magnesium. Causes scale in fixtures, water heaters, and appliances. Addressed with a softener.
Iron and manganese
Staining on fixtures and laundry, metallic taste. Different iron forms need different filtration.
Low pH
Acidic water corrodes copper plumbing and leaches metals into the water. Corrected with a neutralizer.
Arsenic and radon
Both occur naturally in bedrock in parts of New Jersey. Neither is detectable by taste, smell, or appearance. Only a lab test finds them.
