Can You Tell If Your Water Is Safe By The Way It Looks, Tastes or Smells?
Only in very extreme conditions! Typically your water can be contaminated with harmful pollutants, but looks, tastes and smells perfectly fine. Why? Because dangerous levels of contaminants are measured in parts per million or billion, these levels just cannot be detected by the human senses of taste, smell and sight.
Only by having your water tested by a certified laboratory utilizing sophisticated water testing equipment can these harmful contaminants be detected.
Why Is Water Testing So Expensive?
It’s because it involves 1) sophisticated laboratory equipment, and 2) expert chemists, engineers, microbiologists, and others to conduct the water tests.
Can I Simply Install A Water Filter and Avoid Water Testing?
No. What slick water filter advertisements typically forget to mention are:
-
No filter exists to remove every contaminant.
-
Each filter is better at removing certain contaminants and worse at removing others.
-
Many filters are only good for improving the taste and odor of your water.
And although the water you’re drinking may be safe, you could be exposed to dangerous contaminants from the water you use to shower, clean dishes, brush your teeth, wash laundry, etc.
Science has proven that water contamination enters the body through:
-
The water you drink,
-
Inhaling steam vapor when showering,
-
Dermal (skin) absorption from water used to wash your hands, shower, bathe,
-
Residue left on glasses, dishes and other utensils washed in contaminated water.
Can I Lower the Cost of Water Testing?
Yes, by taking advantage of AquaMD’s Water Diagnostic Service.
-
For those served by public water companies or municipalities, an AquaMD water diagnostician will contact your water company to review the water tests already conducted on your water supply. They will also review your specific situation and provide advice that’s right for you. To learn more, please click here.
-
If your water is supplied by a private well, then you must have your water tested at least once a year.
Since there are hundreds of contaminants you can test for, it is not cost effective to test for every one.
Instead you should have a water diagnostician recommend the water tests that are right for you. To learn more, please click here.
