General information only

The content on Well Water Clinic (wellwaterclinic.com) is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not professional, medical, engineering or legal advice, and it is not a substitute for testing your own water at a state-certified laboratory or for advice from your local health department, a licensed well contractor, a licensed plumber or electrician, or a water treatment professional.

Health and safety

Water quality problems can affect health. If your water tests positive for E. coli, if you have high nitrate and an infant in the home, or if anyone becomes ill, stop drinking the water and contact your health department or a medical professional. Work on wells, pumps, pressure switches and chemicals such as chlorine bleach involves risks, including electric shock and chemical burns. Follow manufacturer instructions and local codes, and hire a licensed professional if you are unsure.
