What we check during your free test

Your specialist performs an on-site field test at your kitchen sink and explains each reading in plain English before you decide anything.

  • Hardness

    Measures the calcium and magnesium minerals that cause scale buildup and dry skin.

  • Chlorine

    Detects disinfectant additives used by municipal plants that affect taste and smell.

  • Iron & Manganese

    Identifies metals causing metallic tastes or reddish-brown and black staining on fixtures.

  • pH Balance

    Checks whether your water is too acidic or alkaline, which can corrode pipes.

  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

    Measures the combined total of organic and inorganic substances dissolved in your water.

Why Dallas water is different

DFW tap water is treated and regulated, but it isn't pure. Three things come up in almost every North Texas home.

Hard water

Scale on glass and fixtures, spotting, and mineral buildup inside plumbing and appliances.

Chlorine & chloramine

Long-lasting disinfectants used across North Texas utilities that affect taste, odor, and how water feels.

Drinking-water concerns

What homeowners most want to understand about the water they actually drink and cook with.

The truth about tap

What can affect North Texas water?

Some things we can evaluate right at your sink. Others are only established through laboratory testing or your utility's annual report.

Evaluated during your in-home test

  • Hardness

    Calcium and magnesium minerals that cause scale and spotting.

  • Chlorine

    Municipal disinfectant that affects taste and odor.

  • Iron & Manganese

    Metals behind metallic tastes and rust or black staining.

  • pH Balance

    Acidic or alkaline water that can be hard on plumbing.

  • Total Dissolved Solids

    The combined dissolved content of your water.

Evaluated through laboratory or utility reporting

    So-called forever chemicals, reported through laboratory testing and utility reports.

  • Lead

    Typically associated with older plumbing; confirmed through laboratory testing.

  • Other regulated contaminants

    Published each year in your city's water quality report.

Our free in-home visit is a field test. It does not include laboratory analysis for PFAS, lead, or other regulated contaminants - we'll tell you honestly when a lab test is the right next step.
