RESIDENTIAL WATER ANALYSIS RESULTS

Your water has been professionally tested by the WCC (Water Control Corporation) Test Lab. The results have been matched with your usage requirements to establish a treatment equipment recommendation. Your local WCC dealer will follow up with more detailed information and installation requirements. The results of your water test are as follows:

	CONDITION	YOUR RESULTS	RANGE	NOTICEABLE EFFECTS WHEN OUTSIDE OF IDEAL RANGE
	Copper mg/l (ppm)	0.2	≤ 1.0 mg/l (ppm) [desired level] ≤ 1.3 mg/l (ppm) [official EPA limit]	Short term exposure – gastrointestinal distress Long term exposure – liver or kidney damage Learn More
	Arsenic µg/l (ppb)	1	< 5 μg/l (ppb) [desired level] ≤ 10 μg/l (ppb) [official EPA limit] (BDL = below detectable limit)	Learn More This test is for well water only! Arsenic is a known carcinogen (cancer‐causing agent). It also causes severe skin conditions, developmental delays, and endocrine system disruption.
	Nitrate (NO³) mg/l (ppm)	0	≤ 8 mg/l (ppm) [desired level] ≤ 10 mg/l (ppm) [official EPA limit]	Learn More This test is for well water only! Consuming water containing nitrate above EPA limits can cause low oxygen absorption issues in young infants (blue baby syndrome), pets, and livestock. Nitrate is also linked to certain cancers.
	Lead 15 µg/l (ppb)	BDL	0.0 μg/l (ppb) [desired level] ≤ 15.0 μg/l (ppb) [official EPA limit] (BDL = below detectable limit)	Learn More This test is for city water only, for homes built prior to 1970 and all commercial facilities. Lead causes developmental/growth issues in children and physiological and psychological health issues at all ages. High levels of lead in the bloodstream can lead to organ failure and death.
	Manganese mg/l (ppm)	0.00	< 0.05 mg/l (ppm) [desired level] < 0.10 [acceptable]	Learn More Greater than 0.05 mg/l can cause dark brown/ black staining and a bitter metallic taste. | 0.1 mg/l or higher can cause learning and behavioral problems in infants. | 0.3 mg/l or higher can cause problems with memory, attention, and motor skills in people of all ages.
	Tannins mg/l (ppm)	0.34	< 0.25 mg/l (ppm) [desired level] <1.00 mg/l (ppm) w/ no discoloration present	Yellow-brown discoloration. At high levels, tannins may form an oily film on the water surface. They can cause staining and musty odors. If tannin levels are under 1 ppm and no tannin discoloration is present, treatment is not required.
	Hardness GPG as CaCO (calcium carbonate)	2	0 - 2 [soft] 3 - 5 [moderately hard] ≥ 6 [hard]	Scale build up, spotting on fixtures, soap curd, flat hair, reduced life of clothing and bedding
	Iron (FE) mg/l (ppm) as FE	4.30	< 0.30 mg/l (ppm), w/ no discoloration present	Rusty color, sediment, metallic taste, reddish or orange staining
	TDS mg/l (ppm) (total dissolved solids)	96	≤ 500 mg/l (ppm)	Deposits in plumbing systems and on fixtures, discolored water, salty taste, corrosion. High TDS levels are best addressed with point-of-use or whole house reverse osmosis (RO).
	pH units	4.50	6.50 - 8.50 [desired level] 6.50 - 9.00 [acceptable]	Low pH: bitter metallic taste; corrosion High pH: slippery feel; soda taste; deposits
	Alkalinity mg/l (ppm)	6	30 - 500 mg/l (ppm)	High alkalinity can cause scaling of the plumbing system and potentially dry/irritated skin. Low alkalinity (in certain situations) can contribute to corrosion issues in plumbing systems.

PLEASE NOTE: We have performed the above analysis to detect undesirable aspects of your provided water sample. We do not test for or make certified claims to its potability. Lead testing is for informational purposes only and is only indicative of potential city water supply quality issues. If you have lead pipes and fixtures in your home, they may not be reflected in the results. WCC strongly recommends consulting with a state-certified water test lab should you have concerns about the test results for any specific contaminants, including (but not limited to) lead, arsenic, or nitrate.
