hi brian. don’t know if you remember me from ground water guardians.. I’m interested in getting my water checked here in ??????…we are on city water, but I would like a check anyway.. for instance we get a black residue on any brass sink fittings, and I am told this could be caused by excess manganese…the ????? water authority sends an annual report on their testing of various levels… they all are in accepted parameters… however, I’m not happy with a once a year testing, nor the limited number of items tested for..can you help me?
Here is what we did.
1. We reviewed the available water quality data for the water authority we could track down.
2. We scheduled in informational water test – we were able to get a $ 400.00 test for about half price.
3. We got the data back and reviewed it for free.
4. We found the following in the water
calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, silica, sodium, strontium, chloride, and sulfate. (Yes drinking water is NOT Pure H20)
We also identified some bacteria that may cause aesthetic issues and problems and the water had a low chlorine residual.
5. The levels of contaminants did not violate any drinking water standards, but suggested there may be some corrosion related issues with the water and we provided some basic recommendations.
