How to Test Well Water in Monroe Michigan
High bacteria? That’s fixable. Shock chlorinate your well. It’s like giving your well a bubble bath. You pour bleach down the casing. Let it sit. Then flush it out.
High lead or arsenic? You might need a filter. A reverse osmosis system. Or a whole-house filter. It sounds fancy, but it’s just a big Brita.

Hard water? Get a water softener. Your coffee maker will thank you. Your hair will thank you. Your stainless steel sink will shine like a mirror.
When to Test (The Calendar Rule)
Test your well water every year. Do it in spring or fall. After heavy rain, too. Rain washes stuff into your well.
Also test if you taste a change. Or if you have a baby. Babies are tiny, picky water critics. They deserve the best.
And test if you dig a new well. Or repair an old one. You wouldn’t drink from a pool without testing. Same logic.
