Hard Water Testing in O Fallon, IL

Hard Water Testing in O Fallon, IL

Hard water testing in O Fallon, IL is the first step before O Fallon, IL Water Softener Installation recommends any softener. Guessing the hardness is how homes end up with the wrong size unit.

We test right at your tap and check a few things:

• Total hardness in grains per gallon (gpg). Anything over 7 gpg counts as hard
• Iron in parts per million, because even 0.3 ppm can stain fixtures
• Manganese, which leaves black or brown marks
• pH, since low pH water can affect some softener choices
• TDS, a rough read on total dissolved minerals

If you're on city water, we compare our reading with your utility's water quality report. Utilities often report hardness in mg/L. Divide by 17.1 to get grains per gallon. On a private well, our test is often the first real number you've had.

We also test after a softener to check that it's working. If softened water reads above 1 gpg, something needs attention, often the resin, the brine draw or the bypass being partly open.

Testing takes a few minutes and you get the numbers on the spot. For hard water testing and water softener installation in O Fallon, IL, call O Fallon, IL Water Softener Installation at (833) 995-0133.
