The Need for Well Water Testing in Southwest Florida
Living in Southwest Florida often means relying on well pumps for water—but how safe is it? At A+ Plumbing Professionals, we stress regular testing to keep your drinking water clean and your system running properly.
Why should I test my well water?
Unlike city water, well water isn’t pre-treated, making annual testing vital. It spots:
- Mechanical issues with your well pump.
- Contaminants like bacteria, nitrates, or chemicals.
- High mineral levels from hard water—common here.
Untested water risks your health and plumbing—our water treatment services can help.
What contaminants threaten well water?
Southwest Florida wells face:
- Coliform bacteria from surface runoff.
- Nitrates from fertilizers.
- High total dissolved solids (TDS) and pH shifts.
Testing catches these early, and pairing with water softeners tackles hard water woes.
How often should I test my well water?
Experts—and A+ Plumbing Professionals—recommend yearly tests, or more if you notice odd tastes, smells, or pump issues.
What happens if I skip testing?
Improperly treated water can make you sick and prevent your body from being able to fight off common illnesses. Southwest Florida also has hard water which damages appliances and leads to drain clogs from buildup in pipes. In some cases, hydro jetting can remove this buildup but in severe cases, repiping the water supply lines may be necessary.
Proper testing to know what’s in your water helps prevent these headaches.
