Free In-Home Water Test for Columbus & Central Ohio Homeowners
Know exactly what's in your water before spending a dollar on treatment. We test hardness, iron, pH, TDS, chlorine, and more — at no charge, no obligation.
What we test
| Parameter | Unit | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Water hardness | gpg / mg-L | Columbus water runs 15–18 gpg. This determines what size softener you need — or whether you need one at all. |
| Iron (dissolved & particulate) | ppm | Iron above 0.3 ppm causes staining and requires an iron filter before a softener. |
| pH | pH units | Low pH (acidic water) corrodes copper pipes and fixtures. High pH affects taste and treatment efficiency. |
| Total dissolved solids (TDS) | ppm | High TDS affects taste and indicates the overall mineral load in your water. |
| Chlorine / chloramines | ppm | Columbus uses chloramines for disinfection. High levels affect taste, skin, and hair. |
| Hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) | qualitative | Common in Central Ohio well water. Requires specific treatment to remove. |
How the free water test works

A certified water treatment specialist visits your home. The test takes about 20–30 minutes.
We show you your water's exact readings and explain what they mean for your home and family.
If your water has issues, we'll recommend the most cost-effective solution. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.
Genuinely no obligation
We test your water because informed homeowners make better decisions — and we'd rather earn your business with honest information than pressure tactics. If your water is fine, we'll tell you. If it needs treatment, we'll explain exactly what and why. You decide what to do next.
