Read your water test.

Type in your numbers — from a lab report or a hardware-store strip test — and we'll translate them into plain English, cite the EPA limit, and tell you which system most homes use to fix each issue.

We do not diagnose health conditions. Lead, nitrate, or coliform above EPA limits should always be verified by a certified test before you act.

General water quality

Aesthetic and operational parameters — the things that stain, scale, smell, or taste off.

pH(pH)

Standard tap-water range is 6.5–8.5.

Hardness(gpg)

Grains per gallon. Baldwin County wells often run 15–30+ gpg.

Iron(mg/L)

Orange staining is the visible tell.

Manganese(mg/L)

Black staining in toilet tanks is the tell.

Sulfate(mg/L)

High sulfate can have a laxative effect on visitors.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)(mg/L)

TDS is everything dissolved — minerals, salts, organics combined.

Free Chlorine(mg/L)

Expected on MAWSS / city water; should be 0 on a private well.

Hydrogen Sulfide (rotten-egg smell)(yes/no)

Even trace H2S smells unmistakable. Common in Baldwin County wells.

Health-critical parameters

EPA Primary Drinking Water Regulations cover these. Any reading above the limit gets a soft escalation — verify with a certified test before treating or drinking.

Nitrate (as N)(mg/L)

Health-critical above 10 mg/L. Common in agricultural well areas.

Lead(µg/L)

Health-critical above 15 µg/L (EPA action level). Even lower levels matter for kids and pregnant women.

Total Coliform Bacteria(pos/neg)

EPA MCL is zero detection. A positive on a well almost always means UV disinfection plus a shock.
