Why Test Your Water?

Many water issues are invisible. Contaminants like PFAS (forever chemicals), lead, and arsenic have no taste, color, or odor, yet long-term exposure can pose serious health risks. Regular well water testing and municipal water testing help:

  • Identify contaminants before they become a problem
  • Ensure your drinking water is clean and potable
  • Prevent damage to plumbing and appliances
  • Ensure existing treatment systems are working properly
  • Meet requirements for real estate transactions

For homes on well water, testing in New Jersey is especially important because well water is not regulated or treated by municipalities.

Common Drinking Water Concerns in New Jersey

New Jersey faces several well-documented water quality challenges due to industrial history, aging infrastructure, and agricultural runoff. Common contaminants residents are seeing include:

  • PFAS or forever chemicals: New Jersey is among the states with the highest PFAS levels detected in drinking water.
  • Lead: Aging lead and galvanized service lines in public water systems remain a concern across the state.
  • Iron and hard minerals: Excess minerals and iron in water cause staining, scale buildup, rust, and appliance damage.
  • Arsenic: Arsenic is often found in private wells in rural areas and poses health risks.

Professional water testing is the only way to know which issues may be affecting your home’s water supply. NMP Water Systems provides testing for these and many other water quality concerns.

Free Basic Water Testing & Lab Testing

NMP Water Systems offers two levels of water testing to meet different needs and budgets. Our free water testing screens for common water problems, including:

  • Hard minerals (calcium and magnesium)
  • Chlorine
  • Iron
  • pH issues
  • Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

This testing is ideal for homeowners experiencing taste, staining, or scale issues and looking for quick answers. For a more advanced analysis, we offer certified laboratory testing that provides detailed answers on many contaminants, such as:

  • PFAS
  • Lead
  • Arsenic
  • Bacteria and viruses
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), like trichloroethylene (TCE) and benzene
  • Nitrates and nitrites

Lab testing is strongly recommended in New Jersey, especially for homes with vulnerable occupants or before installing water treatment systems.

How Often Should You Test Your Water?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends annual testing for private wells. Homes on municipal water should also consider periodic testing, especially in older neighborhoods or if water quality changes.

You should test your water:

  • Once a year for private wells

  • After installing or servicing a filtration system

  • Before buying or selling a home (required for most well properties)

  • After flooding or plumbing repairs

  • Following well repairs or new drilling

  • If there have been local land disturbances like construction or chemical spills

Signs You Should Test Your Water

Schedule water testing in New Jersey if you notice:

  • Metallic, fishy, musty, oily, or chemical taste or smell
  • Changes in water odor or color
  • Staining on fixtures or laundry
  • Dry skin or hair after bathing
  • Cloudy water or sediment
  • Mineral buildup in pipes
