Lowell Water Quality

In some instances, it can be obvious that your home or business has water quality issues. However, in most cases, it can be difficult to tell whether your house or commercial property has water quality problems.

One way that you can find out if your home or business has water quality problems is to have your water quality tested. At A. Fagundes Plumbing & Heating Inc., if your home or business uses well or town water, we can perform a water test onsite and have your results immediately. Because we don’t have to send your samples to a lab to be tested, you don’t have to wait weeks for results. Instead, we will be able to tell you that day if you have water quality problems. From there, our experienced plumbers can quickly and efficiently determine what’s causing your water quality issues and repair the problem right away.

In addition to having your water tested, there are a few other ways homeowners and businesses can determine whether they have water quality issues. 

The following are common signs that your home or business has water quality problems:

• Bad Taste – If your water is heavily chlorinated or if you have hard water, it can sometimes make your water taste bad. If you install/upgrade your water filtration system or use a water softener, you may be able to solve this issue.
• Skin and Hair Problems – If your water isn’t clean and healthy, and especially if you have hard water, grooming products, such as shampoo and soap, won’t work as well. This can leave your skin feeling itchy and cause you to develop skin problems. It can also lead to your hair not being as clean as normal, resulting in it looking dull.
• Limescale Buildup – If you have hard water, it can lead to a buildup of limescale on your faucets and showerheads. As the limescale builds up, it can block your showerheads and faucets, which will make them much less effective.
• Foggy Dishes – If you have hard water, or your water isn’t clean and healthy, when you wash your dishes, whether by hand or in the dishwasher, you may find that they don’t appear as clean after you’re done. Hard water can leave water stains on your dishes, which can cause items like glasses to look foggy and your cutlery to appear less shiny.
