Why Should I Test my Home’s Water?

Being a homeowner means adhering to a seemingly endless list of responsibilities for your home to function and serve its
purpose. However, in-home water testing is one facet that many overlook. Testing the water running through your house
and tap ensures no harmful chemicals and contaminants are present. Chemicals like arsenic, fracking fluids, chlorinated
disinfection byproducts, and PFAS have all been found in drinking water. These substances are harmful to drink and can
lead to health problems. Testing your water is also an opportunity to ensure your home's water treatment systems are
functioning correctly.

How to Install a House Water Filler

Installing your house water filter will take 2-4 hours and can be difficult if you are unfamiliar with
plumbing practices. Here is a quick summary of how to install a house water filler in your home:

1. Choose the Filter Location: Access the whole house filter cartridges and select a position near the main
   water shut-off valve. The system should be installed in line with the existing plumbing line.
2. Remove a Section of Pipe: Turn off the water supply and mark a section of pipe to make room for the
   filter system.
3. Install the Tees and a By-Pass Shut-off Valve
4. Add Two Shut-Off Valves
5. Solder Connections
6. Add a Grounding Jumper Cable if Necessary

This can be a lot to take in if you are unfamiliar with plumbing systems and installations. If you want professional
