4 Benefits of Water Quality Testing
You may be wondering if it’s really necessary since you’ve been using your water for years or decades. However, water quality can change over time. And some issues may not show up immediately. Getting your water tested now brings the following benefits:
- Finding harmful contaminants: While it may seem obvious, many homeowners don’t know the full range of chemicals, viruses, and bacteria that can be in their water.
- Identifying the source of bad tastes or smells: One of the most common signs testing is needed is an odd taste or smell in the water. Finding it and fixing it can make your water more pleasant to drink or cook and bathe with.
- Discovering mineral levels: Mineral levels in your water can affect your health and your plumbing. Excess minerals buildup in your pipes and water heater tank, causing issues like low water pressure and performance decline.
- Giving you peace of mind: In many cases, testing will confirm that you have no major issues. This can let you feel confident in the water your family uses every day.

FAQs
Why does my water taste and smell bad?
In most cases, unpleasant tastes or odors are caused by four common things: sulfate, chloride, iron, or manganese. They might not be harmful, but they can still be filtered to give you a better experience. Water softeners or filters can fix this for you.
Does Fairfax have good-quality water?
Fairfax County primarily gets its water from the Potomac River and the Occoquan Reservoir. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has rated it highly in all categories. However, you should still get your water tested annually. The pipes in your home can cause issues, and the EPA doesn’t test for all contaminants that can harm your family.
What factors are often examined to test water quality?
Tests may vary depending on symptoms. But we typically examine chlorine, pH, hardness, clarity, alkalinity, and more.
