You'll benefit from a thorough analysis that reveals hidden contaminants, from high mineral content to bacteria, ensuring every concern is addressed with precision.


Some water issues may not be immediately evident, which is why we conduct detailed water tests to determine if any water treatment measures are necessary. Hard water can cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances, soap inefficiency, dry skin and hair, and stains on fixtures. Chlorine and chloramines used in public supplies can create unpleasant taste and odor, while iron and manganese leave stubborn rust or black stains. A rotten egg smell often signals hydrogen sulfide gas, which corrodes plumbing and tarnishes silverware.

Addressing water problems requires expertise and the right equipment. Below are answers to common questions about testing, treatment, and what you can expect from our services.

How do I know if my water has quality issues?
Signs include metallic or chemical tastes, discoloration, rotten egg smell, soap scum buildup, dry skin, and stains on fixtures. A professional water test confirms the presence and concentration of contaminants.
What does a water test involve?
We collect samples from your tap and analyze them for hardness, chlorine, chloramines, iron, manganese, sulfur, and other common contaminants. Results guide our treatment recommendations and ensure targeted solutions.
Can well water in Sauk Rapids have different problems than city water?
Yes, well water may have variable quality and a higher risk of contamination from minerals, bacteria, and naturally occurring metals. City water often contains disinfectants like chlorine that affect taste and odor.
What treatments are available for hard water?
Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium through an ion exchange process, preventing scale buildup and improving soap efficiency. Salt is used in the regeneration process to restore the resin bed.
How does treatment for iron differ from treatment for chlorine?
Iron in a dissolved state can be treated with a water softener, while higher levels or non-dissolved iron require oxidizing filters. Chlorine is effectively reduced with activated carbon filters designed for chemical removal.
