Water Quality Testing and Water Pressure Testing

You depend on your well water system to provide you with clean water that you can use for drinking, cleaning, bathing, brushing your teeth, washing your dishes and so on. If that water were to become contaminated for any reason, it could cause you and your loved ones to fall ill and end up needing to seek medical treatment to eliminate the bacteria from your system. Because of that, it is more important than ever that you have the water tested at least once every year. In doing so, it will allow you to determine how to go about treating the problem to protect your health and prevent anyone from becoming ill. 

Water Quality Testing Isn’t Optional 

Water quality isn’t something that you should take for granted. Even though you might assume that the water coming from your well, that isn’t always the case. The only way to know for sure is to have someone come in and check it for you to give you an accurate reading. While it is recommended that you do this at least once per year, you might need to have the water tested more frequently if any of the following exist: 

• You have an infant in the home. 
• One of your family members is having bouts of gastrointestinal illness. 
• The septic system malfunctioned recently. 
• Your well has had bacterial contamination before. 
• Your water doesn’t taste, smell or look the same as it did before. 
• You simply want to monitor how your water treatment equipment is working. 

Don’t wait around hoping that the water is going to get better on its own, because it isn’t. You need to take action by calling in a professional who has the tools and equipment to come in and perform a water quality test for you. This will give you an accurate reading and give you answers to any questions you might have had about the overall quality of the water coming into your home. Our team at HydroGeologic Services, Inc. has 20+ years of experience working on Albuquerque well systems just like yours.

Water Pressure Shouldn’t Be a Trickle 

Beyond testing the overall quality of the water coming into your home, you also need to look at the amount of pressure your system is generating. If the water has slowed to a trickle or drizzle, that often means that something is going on that needs to be fixed right away. It could be that something is clogging one of the pipes and preventing water from moving through them freely. You could have a tree root that penetrated a pipe and ruptured it causing water to leak into the ground instead of making its way into your home. Your pump could be on its last legs and need to be replaced. 

Any one of these things could be the culprit. The only way to know exactly what it is that you are dealing with is to call in someone who has the necessary tools to get to the bottom of the problem.
