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.

Additional water purification may be necessary in various cases, including:
Insufficient water quality from the source, the need for dechlorination and taste improvement, removal of chlorine from the public water supply system, when purification is required for specific needs, for the safety from pathogenic microorganisms, or for other personal preferences.
To achieve the desired result, let’s first understand the basic water quality parameters:
Understanding the chemical composition of water is crucial information that can help safeguard your health. Through analysis, you can learn valuable details, such as the level of water oxidization. Increased water oxidation indicates contamination of the source. Another important indicator can be nitrate ions. It’s important to know that nitrates cannot be removed from water by boiling, meaning they continuously affect your health.
