New Hampshire Water
Testing
The system for removing radon from your drinking water is
different from a water filter. Radon is a gas, and must be "vented" from the home water system before it reaches
the tap. Drinking water can also carry a host of other
conaminants, depending on the location of the water source. Some are dangerously toxic VOCs like MTbE and
arsenic, and others like minerals that affect the appearence and taste.
As water consultants in New Hampshire, we are certified and
trained in the removal of radon. With almost two decades of experience, we are also
proficient in the area of removing these other impurities from your home water supply by using the best water
treatment systems available on the market today.

Our water testing is done by an independent lab so you can be assured that we have no
conflict of interest in selling you products and services that you don't need. |

As with our radon mitigation policy, we only sell you what you need. For example, if you have a
water test showing an iron content over .3 ppm, it's likely you will need some type of water treatment
system. What kind you need depends on the type of iron you are removing.
If the iron is "particulate" (ferric) then you will need
to strain out the particles using a filtration system that is properly sized for your situation. Not doing this can
cause the aeration system to fail, clogging the delivery valves, which will allow the system to overfill and flood
the surrounding area with water. If the iron is in a soluble form (ferrous), the most popular treatment method is
to install an "Ion Exchange" unit, commonly known as a water softener. Water softeners attract soluble metals from
the water using positive and negative charges. It's possible that both types of pre-treatment methods are
needed.
This is why an accurate, independent water test is so
important.
