Many Irish homes still rely on private wells or ageing plumbing systems. Even if your tap water looks clear, it doesn’t always mean it’s safe. Minerals, bacteria, or corrosion can quietly affect both your health and your home. Before you drink another glass straight from the tap, learn how to test tap water quality in simple ways — no laboratory needed.
Water. Clear, cool, seemingly perfect. We trust it — to drink, to cook with, to bathe our children. But what if behind this trusted flow lies more than meets the eye? Excess iron, nitrates, bacteria, or even radon — all of it can be hiding in the water you use every day.
That’s why at DryZone, we always start with one essential step: a professional water test. It’s not an extra. It’s the smart beginning.
Water changes — with the seasons, the soil, and the systems it flows through.
We recommend testing:
When connecting to a new well or borehole
Once a year — even if your water seems fine
After plumbing work, pump replacement, or filter changes
When household needs change — like having a baby or caring for elderly parents
Think of water testing as your home’s health check-up — it brings peace of mind.

Oil boilers have long been recognized as reliable heat sources in homes across Ireland.
