It's Time to Test Your Water!

April 17, 2024

FREE Water Testing at Nauman*

 Our FREE Water Tests* check for pH, hardness and iron.

 

What should my tap water pH be?

Your tap water's pH should fall somewhere between 6.5 and 8.5. If water is too acidic (low pH) or alkaline (high pH), it can damage pipes and appliances and is not considered safe to drink.

 

What is water hardness?

Water hardness is the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water. Soft water is low in minerals, while hard water has a high mineral content.

Effects of hard water include:

  • Scale buildup inside water pipes
  • Reduced water flow and increased stress on pipes
  • Film/scale deposits on tiles and fixtures
  • Spots on glasses and dishes
  • Difficult for washing machine to produce suds so clothes don't get as clean

 

What are signs that my water has too much iron in it?

  • Discolored water: water has red or brown tint
  • Rusted pipes: iron can cause pipes to corrode
  • Bad taste or smell: water can have a metallic taste or a musty smell
  • Dry, itchy skin: iron strips away your skins natural oils, leaving it dry and irritated

 

What is the solution to all of these water issues?

A water treatment system.

 

Based on the results of your FREE Water Test*, the Nauman plumbing team can recommend and install the perfect water treatment system to condition your water.

 

*Free water test does not include a bacteria test but we suggest that every home have a UV light installed for bacteria protection.
