That’s why it’s a good idea to test your drinking water for potential contaminants like these:*
Lead Lead is not present in all drinking water, but can occur due to corrosion of older, lead-based plumbing systems.
Bacteria Annual testing is recommended for bacteria in well water, particularly in the hot summer months when levels may be higher.
Chlorine While chlorine is a common component of municipal water treatment, high levels of the chemical can create an unpleasant taste and bleach-like smell.
PFOA/PFOS Also known as “forever chemicals,” these compounds are the subject of new EPA drinking water regulations, but public water systems have five years to comply.
Nitrate Nitrate occurs naturally in our environment, but high levels of its manmade form can be found in agricultural areas and can impact well water quality.
