Why Test Your Water?
It seems like nothing of value is free, right? Learning what’s in your water at no charge does sound too good to be true. Here’s why we have a free water analysis:It’s more cost effective for us to test your water and give you the proper equipment the first time, compared to if we had to go back to correct it.The loss not only in our time and labor, but in good will, would far outweigh our costs involved with a water test in your home.Culligan has been around since 1936 and we’ve been in Tampa Bay communities since 1976. You cannot serve a community for that long unless you take care of your customers.With the Do-It-Yourself mentality in most areas, if we started charging for a water test, we fear that too many people would get caught going with an ineffective solution that doesn’t fully take care of their needs. After all, what good is water treatment if it isn’t designed to handle YOUR water?
Common Contaminants In Tap Water

PFAS
PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," are man-made compounds that can persist in the environment for thousands of years. Used in products like nonstick cookware, water-resistant fabrics, and food packaging, these chemicals have been linked to potential health risks, including cancer and immune system issues, and are difficult to eliminate from drinking water and the human body. (Not included in free water test.)

Hard Water
Hard Water shortens the life of appliances and leaves Hard Water deposits on fixtures and dishware. Hard Water also requires chemical detergents to counter the effects of hardness and can require up to 65% more cleaning products. A simple Hard Water test can determine how much Hardness is in your water.

Bacteria
Municipal water suppliers inject disinfectants (Chlorine) to eliminate bacteriological contamination. Well Water does not. Most Well Water is safe and free of bacteriological contamination, but the only way to know is to have it Tested. A special test is required for this and must be done in a laboratory. This requires 2-4 days. (Not included in free water test.)

Chlorine
Most municipal water has been treated with some form of Chlorine disinfection. Well Water does not have chlorine. Chlorine in tap water tends to dry out skin and make hair brittle. It can be higher in some parts of the city than in others.

Salts & Dissolved Solids
Salt is another common contaminant. It is usually higher in surface water that comes from lakes. However, it isn't unusual to encounter higher than acceptable levels in some Well Water. The only way to know is to have the water tested.

Fluoride
Fluoride might be common in Tampa Bay's municipal water. In excess, it can cause problems. If you are concerned, a special test to determine the levels of fluoride is available.
