Dear Mr and Mrs. Cunningham,
We at Sumps and Pumps Water Testing of Plaistow have tested kitchen tap water at your home from various minerals. This testing will assist in evaluating what precautions may need to be taken indoors with your fixtures and taps and outdoors with your artesian well to ensure safe, drinkable water.
pH is a measure of hydrogen in water that can display the greater acidic or basic a solution is. The scale begins at zero and reaches 14, the lower numbers meaning the water is more acidic, and the higher numbers represent more basic or alkaline with 7 being neutral. Water should be close to 7, in a range of about 6.5-8.5 to be safe, clean, and maintain an adequate taste, but has flexible parameters of 5.1-7.9. Maintaining a suitable pH level is crucial to not only the safety and health of you and others, but highly acidic solutions can corrode water pipes, and highly basic solutions can cause build up to form inside pipes as well. The water sample from your household that we tested had an outstanding pH level of 7 which registers the same as pure water. Therefore, your water is safe and healthy to drink, and will not harm your pipes, fixtures, or drains.
Chlorine can occur naturally in water or is added through a well or public source of water to reduce bitter taste and odor. Your water did not contain any chlorine, but this does not mean it has odor and bitter taste. Well water often does not contain chlorine because chlorine is added to large bodies of public drinking water and most underground water sources do not naturally contain bleach and/or chlorine.
Iron naturally is found in water, mostly in well water because large amounts of iron are found in the Earth’s crust. Although water with high levels of iron content has been linked to some diseases, many people can consume water with iron, but usually only causes a pungent taste or smell in the water. When tested, your tap water tested negative for iron, but signals of iron in your tap water may include brownish stains around bathtub fixtures.
