Concerned about what's in your water supply?

Is your water filter really working?

thinking about drinking...

Challenge

If you care about water quality you know that a bad taste or bad smell can ruin the pleasure of drinking water. If your water tastes "weird" or smells "chemically" then you may have water quality problems. However, not every water pollutant can be tasted or smelled. Some dangerous forms of bacteria and many common pesticides cannot be detected without lab analysis. Not knowing if your water supply is safe can cost you more than just anxiety, and investing in bottled water or water purification can be expensive and unnecessary. Water samples can determine if filtration is necessary or effective.

The young and elderly, immune compromised, or pregnant should be especially cautious.The US EPA suggests private wells be tested annually for nitrate and coliform bacteria. Unfortunately, however, the US EPA does not regulate many of the chemicals commonly found in our water supply. Most water quality reports and analysis do not look beyond these limited legal requirements. Whether your water comes from a utility or a private well, you should be aware of any water pollution coming out of your tap. 

Solution

HBI's thorough and precise lab analysis makes the invisible - visible. Our user-friendly reports will indicate if additional filtration is recommended or if your existing filtration system is sufficient, providing peace-of-mind and clear direction for maintaining good water quality.

Success Story

A client with a son on the autistic spectrum relied on well water and was concerned heavy metals (from a nearby mine) and pesticides (from a neighbor with a hatred for gophers) were leaching into her well. She invested in an expensive Reverse Osmosis filtration system on her doctors' recommendation. After HBI tested her unfiltered well water for more than 170 common water pollutants, we learned her water was exceptionally clean. She disconnected the Reverse Osmosis system and now tests the well twice a year and says the water tastes better without filtration!
