The Free In-Home Water Test
Forty-five minutes, at your kitchen sink, with the numbers written down. It's how every job here starts — including the ones that end with us telling you that you don't need anything.

What's free, and what isn't
The in-home test is genuinely free and carries no obligation. We measure hardness, pH, chlorine or chloramine, iron and total dissolved solids at your tap, look at your water heater, your plumbing and any equipment already installed, and explain what every number means.
What the in-home test cannot do is tell you about PFAS, arsenic, radon, uranium, nitrate or bacteria. Those require laboratory analysis, and in Massachusetts they legally require a MassDEP-certified laboratory. Anyone offering to test your water for PFAS on your countertop is not testing your water for PFAS. Lab work is quoted to you in writing before a single sample is taken, so there is never a surprise charge.
If you're on town water, start here — for free
Every public water system in Massachusetts publishes an annual Consumer Confidence Report with its actual test results, including PFAS6 against the state's 20 parts-per-trillion standard. It costs nothing and it's the right first step. Bring it to the appointment and we'll read it with you; it often means the sensible recommendation is smaller than you expected.
If you're on a private well, this matters more
MassDEP does not regulate private wells — your local Board of Health does, and requirements vary by town. There is no statewide mandate to test an existing well on any schedule, which means most wells in Massachusetts are tested twice: when they're drilled, and when the house is sold. A full panel covers arsenic (limit 10 ppb), radon (deed notification above 10,000 pCi/L), coliform bacteria and E. coli, nitrate, lead, hardness, iron, manganese, pH and PFAS6.
What you get afterwards
A written report with every measured value against its standard, an explanation of what each one means for your house specifically, and — only where something needs addressing — an itemised quote stating the flow rate and capacity the system was designed for. If nothing needs addressing, the report says that, and that's the end of it.
How it goes
Test first. Quote second. Install third.
In that order, every time. It is the only way to know whether you need a three-thousand-dollar system or a two-hundred-dollar one.
Free in-home water test
We measure hardness in grains per gallon, pH, chlorine or chloramine, iron and total dissolved solids at your tap, and look at your plumbing, water heater and any existing equipment. About 45 minutes, no obligation. Where it's warranted, PFAS, arsenic, radon and bacteria go to a MassDEP-certified laboratory — quoted before any sample is taken.
Straight answers, in writing
Every number read against its standard, what it means for your house, and what we'd do about it. Including the cases where the answer is that you don't need anything from us — which in MWRA communities happens often.
Installed, tested, and proven
Licensed, insured, permitted where your town requires it, and sequenced correctly: sediment, oxidation, softening, specialty media, then UV. We re-test after commissioning, because a system nobody verified is a hope rather than a treatment.
