Private well education
A plain-English guide to units, lab flags, EPA limits, and what to do after a private well water test.
Private well owners should treat lab reports as a decision tool: identify urgent health flags first, then handle taste, staining, hardness, and maintenance concerns.
Match the exact contaminant name and unit from your lab report. Some labs report nitrate as nitrate while others report nitrate-nitrogen, and those numbers are not interchangeable.
For any value that affects health, confirm with a certified lab and local guidance before buying treatment equipment or changing household water use.
The iOS app keeps your household's test history, reminders, treatment notes, and plain-English summaries in one place instead of scattered PDFs and screenshots.
