Order any of the test kits below to assist you in testing your water and determining what type and size equipment you may need. If you have a municipal water source, call your local water department and ask them for the total hardness of the water they supply to you. They will provide you this information milligrams per liter (mg/l). Divide that number by 17 which will convert this into grains per gallon (gpg). If you have a private or community well, you must have your water tested for hardness, iron and pH before any determination can be made as to a solution. It is important to know what type and level of iron that is present. If your water has sediments, color (other than clear) and odors, then you may need other equipment that a water softener cannot address. If your water has a color to it at all times, then a series of tests need to be done to determine what is causing that color. What is clear water iron? click here > > What is the difference between clear water iron and other types of iron? Feel free to send a water sample to us at PO Box 546 Dayton, Ohio 45449. Fill an empty plastic water or pop bottle and we will test it at no charge to you. Please include your e-mail address as well as your daytime phone number. Hydrogen Sulfide (sulfur) must be tested right out the faucet. Taking a water sample to a lab or place of business will allow the sulfur to dissipate which will prevent an accurate test. The pH of your water must be over 7.0 for a water softener or iron filter to effectively remove any iron in the water supply. pH below 7.0 can be corrected with a system available from us.
