Call us or book through our contact page. A water quality consultation starts with testing your actual water rather than assuming what is in it, then matching equipment to what the test shows.
What the Consultation Covers
- Water testing to establish hardness and identify other issues
- Inspection of your water heater for sediment and existing scale damage
- Fixture and appliance assessment — scale on aerators, showerheads, and valve seats tells you how long the problem has been working
- Water pressure measurement, since excess pressure compounds scale damage
- Household usage evaluation, which determines equipment sizing
- Space and plumbing assessment for where equipment can be installed
- Recommendations with pricing — and an honest statement of what you do not need
Why Testing Comes First
Water treatment is not one-size-fits-all, and the wrong equipment solves nothing while costing money to operate. A softener addresses hardness. A whole-house filter addresses particulate and chlorine taste. Reverse osmosis addresses dissolved solids at a drinking tap. Which you need depends on what the test shows — recommending equipment without testing is guessing.
What to Have Ready
Note what you have observed: spotting on glassware, soap that will not lather, dry skin, reduced flow at fixtures, rumbling from the water heater, or any change in taste or smell. Also useful: the age of your water heater and whether it has ever been flushed, and whether your home is on municipal water or a private well.
What We Will Probably Find
Hardness. It is the dominant water quality issue across the Albuquerque metro, and it drives water heater failure, fixture wear, and a meaningful share of drain problems. The useful part of the consultation is establishing how hard, since that determines equipment sizing and regeneration frequency.
No Pressure
Our technicians are not paid on commission. If your water does not warrant treatment, we will say so.
