The quality of your water can vary depending on your water source and other environmental factors. A free in-home water test can help determine what you’re dealing with and how to protect against future problems. If your new home has a water treatment system already, you should still test your water to ensure it is effectively addressing all current issues.
Unlike municipal water systems, private wells aren’t regulated, so safety is the homeowner’s responsibility. Water testing can help uncover common issues like iron, sulfur and bacteria. It can also detect high levels of minerals—such as calcium and magnesium—which cause hard water problems such as dry skin, dry hair and buildup on pipes and faucets.
Hard water naturally contains essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. Our systems preserve these nutrients while preventing scale buildup, giving you water that’s better for your home and your family.
Common indicators of water problems also include unsightly stains in your sinks, buildup on your showerheads and spots on your dishes. If left unresolved, water issues can cause long-term damage to your water-using appliances, costing you more money and headaches.
If you're concerned about the quality of the water your family drinks and uses, testing your water can provide peace of mind. Ensuring it's free from harmful chemicals and contaminants like heavy metals, bacteria, and microplastics is key to supporting your family's well-being and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Your free home water test can reveal a variety of potential problems. Depending on where you live, your water source and any specific concerns you may have, your NuvoH2O expert may also recommend sending in your sample for more in-depth laboratory testing.
Hard water is caused by the presence of excess magnesium and calcium, which are naturally found in groundwater. These minerals build up and can damage hair, skin, pipes and water-using appliances; they also cause unsightly, hard-to-clean buildup on sinks, showers and dishes. A hard water test can help to determine whether your home could benefit from a water softening system.
Total dissolved solids include metals, minerals and salts, which at high levels can make your water look cloudy and have a bitter, metallic taste. They can also make your water hard, corrode plumbing, reduce the lifespan of water-using appliances, and give water a salty or bitter taste.
High levels of nitrates an have negative health effects and are difficult to detect without water quality testing. Iron is often found in well water and can damage appliances, pipes and fixtures. Hydrogen sulfide produces a rotten-egg, sulfur smell and is also common in well water homes.
Chlorine in your water is not typically a health concern but often results in unpleasant tastes and smells. If the pH level of your water is too high or low, it can negatively affect the taste, water pressure and feel of the water.
Where requested or recommended, NuvoH2O's IL EPA-certified lab can perform water tests for nearly 50 different potential issues, including PFAS, lead, copper, bacteria, arsenic, mercury and more.

"I love the saltless water softener system, my water is now clear and tasteless like water is supposed to be, water should taste like water, not full of crap that they add and say is good for us when it is poisoning or bodies. I tell people about this system and how easy it is to install and how fantastic it changed the taste of my water, I highly recommend this filtration system."
Rick S.
"Works great out here in Canyon Lake, Texas. Canyon lake water is very hard an lots of calcium build up....shows up in all the toilets and plumbing fixtures. I use the NuvoH2O Home cartridge and it clears up all the deposits and the water even tastes better. I've had the water softener systems you have to add salt to but this is much easier with no salt to add, just the cartridge. Very happy with it."
John W.
"I have had my NuvoH2O system for about eight years, and I'm so glad I chose it. I live in an area with very hard water. With NuvoH2O I don't get mineral build-up on my faucets and appliances. They are quick to ship replacement filters, and I've found the customer service to be excellent."

Your water quality is a quantitative and qualitative measure of what is in your water and how that can affect your home and family. Whether your water supply comes from the city or a private well, your tap water may contain contaminants such as dissolved minerals and metals, chemicals, bacteria and more could be present, affecting not only the taste, smell and feel of your water but also your health. Water testing is an important first step toward ensuring your have water you can trust.
If you have city water, your local water supplier is already taking steps to make your water safer. However, unfiltered tap water may still have problems. Some contaminants can make their way into your water as it travels from your city supply to your home, or through your own pipes. There are also emerging water contaminants that are not yet regulated. At the same time, even safe water may have contaminants that can affect the smell and taste or damage plumbing and appliances. A water quality test an reveal what is in your water and if it is safe to drink.
Common tap water issues vary by region, water supply, and whether you have city or well water. Hard water, which means high levels of magnesium and calcium, is common in well and city water. Man-made chemicals like PFAS can be present in both water sources as well.* If your water is supplied by a municipality, it may have chlorine and fluoride. High levels of iron and/or hydrogen sulfide are common in well water; arsenic or nitrates may also be issues depending on where you live. Professional water testing is the best way to get a comprehensive picture of what is in your tap water and make sure you can put the right treatment solutions in place if needed.
Well water testing is especially important because private well water is not regulated or treated by the government or local municipalities. As with city water, the best approach is to work with a professional who knows what to test for and can recommend the right well water treatment solutions. It's recommended to test yearly for problems like bacteria, nitrates, pH and TDS, but you should also test any time you notice changes to your water quality or disturbances near your well such as flooding or construction. Testing is recommended as well when you replace or repair any part of your well, or if there are known problems with groundwater in your area.
How often you should get a home water test depends on the source of your water supply. Private well water should generally be tested annually. Municipal water homes should also be tested, particularly if issues are detected like hard water buildup, odors or discoloration, or if you have concerns about specific contaminants or your water quality overall. If you notice any changes to your water quality, have just moved to a new home, or experience irritated skin or dry hair, a water test is recommended.
