Summer is the perfect time to evaluate the quality of the water flowing into your home.

From filling a backyard pool to staying hydrated during outdoor adventures or just keeping your lawn green, clean and safe water is essential for your family’s comfort and well-being.

Here are five practical steps you can take to ensure optimal water quality all season long:

1. Test Your Water

Before making any changes, start by understanding what’s in your water. Testing can reveal common contaminants like chlorine, iron, hard minerals, or even bacteria.

Be it a municipal system or a private well, regular testing—especially in the summer—helps ensure your water meets health and safety standards.

2. Install a Whole Home Water Treatment System

For consistent water quality from every tap, a whole home water treatment system is your best defense. These systems remove impurities before they reach your pipes, protecting everything from your skin and hair to your appliances and plumbing.

Hard water, chemical tastes, or staining minerals can all be addressed with a whole home treatment system that ensures your water is clean, soft, and safe—year-round.

3. Maintain Outdoor Water Fixtures

Garden hoses, sprinkler systems, and outdoor taps can develop buildup or become breeding grounds for bacteria if neglected.

Flush these fixtures regularly, check for leaks, and replace old hose filters. This ensures the water you use on your lawn, in your garden, or to fill a kiddie pool is just as clean as what’s in your home.

4. Stay Hydrated With Filtered Water

Summer heat demands hydration, but no one wants to drink water that smells or tastes off. Make it easier to stay healthy and hydrated by using filtered water for drinking and cooking.

If you already have a whole home system, you’re covered. If not, consider adding a dedicated drinking water filter or purifier at your kitchen sink.

5. Be Proactive With Seasonal Maintenance

Sediment buildup and changing water conditions can reduce the efficiency of your treatment systems over time.

Replace filters and cartridges as recommended, and consider a mid-year checkup for your water softener or filtration unit. Routine maintenance ensures peak performance when you need it most.
