What a reading at your tap tells you

Water testing and analysis in Sunnyvale answers what the annual water quality report cannot: what is coming out of your faucet now. Annual reports give system-wide averages over a whole year. Your tap gets one blend, through your own service line and plumbing, in one season.

An on-site reading covers hardness, free and total chlorine, TDS, pH and iron in about thirty minutes. For wells, specific health concerns such as lead from older plumbing, or a home purchase, we arrange a certified lab panel and explain the results line by line.

Buying a home? A reading during the inspection period tells you whether the existing softener or filter works and whether it suits the house. On a well property, a bacteria and nitrate test before closing is worth the small cost.

One more thing worth knowing: hardness and TDS in the valley can move with the season as the supply blend changes, so a single reading is a snapshot. If you are deciding on a softener and your reading sits near the line, we can return in a different season and measure again before you commit. That second reading costs far less than the wrong system. And if you already have a lab report from another company, bring it. We will explain what it says, free of any sales pitch.

What we measure

The readings that decide which equipment, if any, makes sense.

  • Hardness

    In grains per gallon; decides whether softening is worth it.

  • Free and total chlorine

    Distinguishes chlorine from chloramine.

  • Total dissolved solids

    Broad measure and a baseline for RO.

  • pH

    Affects corrosion and how other treatment performs.

  • Iron

    Small amounts still stain and foul resin.

  • Well bacteria screen

    Coliform testing through a certified lab.

  • Lab panels on request

    Lead, nitrates, arsenic, manganese and others.

  • Written results

    Every number, with what it means in plain language.
