Salty potato chips are a treat, but excess salt in your well water is something that should be looked into. Salt can enter ground water and well systems from some sources, from sea foam to road salt. When salt dissolves in water, it breaks up into positively- and negatively-charged sodium and chloride ions. These ions are so common that they are found in every water supply at some level.

Installing a point of entry or POE water treatment system to treat your homes water supply can be a worthwhile investment in your family’s health. A POE whole-house water treatment system is mainly designed to remove contaminants in water used for showering, washing clothes and dishes, and brushing teeth.

When bacteria show up as contamination in a water well, it indicates problems with the well construction or with the filtering soil or bedrock near where you draw your water. 

Volatile organic compounds (VOC's) are chemical contaminants, most often man-made, that can be harmful to your health.

Many homeowners have questions about the quality of their water, whether they get their water from a private well or a public water system.
