Everyone deserves fresh-tasting, healthy water at home. To ensure you and your family are getting the clean, pure water, take a few measures to improve the quality of your well water. The following guide explains how to get the most out of your water well and bolster the taste, safety, and health of your drinking water for years to come. 

3 Steps to Improve Your Water Well

1. Have a Complete Water Analysis Preformed

First, have a lab do a complete water analysis. A lab will use specialized tests to assess the presence of harmful bacteria, lead, copper, heavy metals, and household waste. They can also measure levels of ions, sulfates, nitrates, and fluoride. Certain microorganisms and high quantities of lead can pose serious health risks, so regular testing is recommended to maintain water safety.

2. Install a Water Filtration System

For example, a resin water filtration system will soften the water, while reverse osmosis systems combat high salinity levels. The proper lab analysis can help you determine which model is right for your needs.  

3. Invest in Regular Maintenance

A properly functioning well is the key to optimal water quality, but the well system can malfunction at many points. An improperly sealed well cap, failing filters, or a defective pressure gauge on a water tank are just a few of the issues that could arise. At least once per year, enlist a professional to inspect the water quality, tank, water pump, and other fundamental components of the system. A high-performing water well will improve efficiency and lower the risk of contamination.
