What our free water test covers
We perform secondary water testing on site. We check hardness, pH, iron, and chlorine only – the readings we need in order to recommend and correctly size a water softener, iron filter or pH neutralizer for your home.
We do not perform full panel water testing. Full panel, potability and certified laboratory analysis – bacteria, lead, nitrates, VOCs and the like – has to be carried out by a North Carolina state-certified laboratory. That is not a service we offer, and we are not able to collect samples for it.
FIND OUT IF YOU HAVE IRON IN THE WATER AT YOUR CORNELIUS HOME OR BUSINESS WITH A FREE SECONDARY WATER TEST.
If you live in Cornelius, North Carolina or the surrounding area and you have been living with a metallic taste in your water, we want you to know you don’t have to anymore. Here at Ultimate Plumbing, we offer free secondary water testing to our customers. If the test uncovers that there is too much iron in the water, we can help alleviate the problem and reduce the odor and taste you are experiencing in your water. Iron in water makes water not taste as good when you are drinking it, but it can also damage appliances and equipment over time. Your appliances will run more smoothly with iron softeners that we can add to your system after a secondary water test confirms the presence of too much iron in the water. There are some great reasons to choose Ultimate Plumbing for your next plumbing need in Cornelis:

Water Treatment FAQs
What does your free water test include?
We perform secondary water testing on site: we check hardness, pH, iron, and chlorine only. Those readings tell us which treatment system your home needs and what size it should be. The test is free and we do it at your property.
Do you offer full panel water testing?
No. We perform secondary water testing only - hardness, pH, iron, and chlorine. Full panel, potability and certified laboratory analysis, such as bacteria, lead, nitrates or VOCs, has to be carried out by a North Carolina state-certified laboratory. That is not a service we offer, and we are not able to collect samples for it.
How do I know if I need a water treatment system?
Signs include hard water stains, dry skin/hair, bad taste or odor, cloudy water, or staining on fixtures. Our free secondary water test (hardness, pH, iron, and chlorine only) confirms which of those issues you have.
What's the difference between a water softener and water filter?
Water softeners remove hard minerals (calcium, magnesium) that cause scale buildup. Water filters remove contaminants, chlorine, and sediment. Many homes benefit from both systems.
Do you service well water systems?
Yes! We specialize in well water treatment including iron filters, pH neutralizers, UV purification, and sediment filtration. Lake Norman area wells often have iron and hardness issues.
How long does a water softener last?
Quality water softeners last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. We recommend annual service to ensure optimal performance and salt efficiency.
Is soft water safe to drink?
Yes, softened water is safe to drink, though it contains slightly more sodium. For those on sodium-restricted diets, we can install a reverse osmosis system for drinking water.
