Watch-fors

What households usually check

  • chlorine or chloramine taste
  • nitrate in agricultural well counties
  • hardness
  • PFAS in some industrial corridors

Steps

A practical path

  1. 1Confirm disinfectant type on the Ohio utility CCR (chlorine vs chloramine).
  2. 2Well owners in farm counties: certified nitrate-nitrogen lab test before infant formula decisions.
  3. 3Catalytic carbon for chloramine taste; RO when nitrate or dissolved ions are the issue.
  4. 4Keep manufacturer claim language labeled certified vs claims-only on every shortlist.
