Why test your water?

The importance of your home’s water quality goes beyond just the taste.

Putting solutions in place to provide superior quality water promotes better wellness, protects your home’s plumbing and appliances, and can even help reduce environmental impact.

While some contaminants can cause foul tastes or odors, many others can’t be seen, tasted or smelled.* That’s why professional water testing is so important. Your local Culligan experts know firsthand about common water issues in your area. With a free, in-home water test, they can check for a variety of problems, with results in 30 minutes or less. Your Culligan expert may also send your water test to our IL EPA-certified lab, which can test for many other types of water contaminants including lead, PFAS, bacteria, and others.

When to test your home’s water

If you’ve moved

The quality of your water can vary depending on your water source and other environmental factors. A 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.

If you have a private well

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.

If you have odor or taste issues

Between coffee at breakfast and pasta for dinner, there are plenty of ways you use water in the kitchen. Water with an unpleasant odor or taste could make your culinary experience anything but enjoyable. For example, iron is known to leave a metallic aftertaste, while chlorine can create an unpleasant bleach smell.

If you have spots, stains, or buildup

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.

What Culligan tests for

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 Culligan expert may also recommend sending in your sample for more in-depth laboratory testing.

Water hardness

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.
