Testing Without Pressure
Honest Water Testing With No Strings Attached
A free water test should inform your decision, not pressure it. These practices guide every test and estimate we provide.
Testing Done at Your Property
We test raw water right at your home or property, where results reflect your actual supply. On-site testing lets us discuss findings immediately, look at staining or fixtures together, and answer questions while everything is fresh.
Results Explained in Plain Language
Numbers like grains per gallon or parts per million mean little without context. We explain what each result indicates, how it affects your plumbing and appliances, and which issues are worth treating versus simply monitoring.
No-Obligation Written Proposals
After testing, you receive a written proposal outlining recommended treatment, equipment, and pricing in detail. There is no obligation and no sales pressure, so you can compare options, ask questions, talk it over, and decide when the timing is right for you.
Recommendations Based on Data
Our proposals are built from measured results rather than prepackaged sales bundles. Matching equipment to tested water chemistry avoids oversized systems, unnecessary add-ons, and equipment that would never solve the actual problem you originally called us about.
Decades of Water Knowledge
Since 1983, we have seen nearly every combination of iron, sulfur, hardness, and acidity found in Pacific Northwest water. That history helps us interpret results accurately and spot issues that inexperienced testers might easily overlook.
Guidance on Lab Testing
Our free test focuses on nuisance contaminants. When health concerns like bacteria, nitrate, or arsenic are possible, we explain when certified laboratory testing makes sense and help coordinate proper sampling through a state accredited lab for reliable results.
Water Testing Services
These on-site tests help property owners in Sandy, Oregon understand their water before choosing any treatment equipment.
01
Hardness Testing
Calcium and magnesium levels are measured to determine whether scale on fixtures, spotty dishes, and dry skin come from hard water, and exactly how much softening your household actually needs.
02
Iron and Manganese Testing
Dissolved iron and manganese are measured to identify the source of orange, brown, or black staining, metallic taste, and discolored laundry, guiding the right filter choice for complete, lasting removal.
03
pH and Acidity Testing
Water pH is checked to identify acidic conditions that cause blue-green stains, corroded copper pipes, and pinhole leaks, helping determine whether acid neutralizing treatment is needed to protect your plumbing.
04
Odor and Sulfur Checks
Rotten egg and musty odors are evaluated to identify hydrogen sulfide and related causes, distinguishing problems coming from the well water itself from issues developing inside the home's water heater.
05
Total Dissolved Solids Testing
Total dissolved solids are measured to understand overall mineral content, which affects taste, scale formation, and whether adding a reverse osmosis drinking water system would be a worthwhile home investment.
06
Written Treatment Proposals
Test results are translated into a clear written proposal listing recommended equipment, what each component treats, and pricing, giving you everything needed to make an informed, unhurried decision about treatment.

How it works
How Free Water Tests and Estimates Work
Scheduling free water tests and estimates starts with a quick call describing the problems you notice and whether your water comes from a private well or a municipal supply. Our technician visits your property, collects a raw water sample, and runs on-site tests for hardness, iron, manganese, pH, dissolved solids, and odor-causing compounds. We review the results with you, look at affected fixtures, and then prepare a written, no-obligation proposal outlining treatment options and pricing.
Testing is the first step toward water you can enjoy every day. Results often lead to water treatment filter installation for single problems or complete water treatment system design and installation when several issues overlap. Homes being bought or sold may also need real estate transaction water tests through an accredited laboratory. Advanced Water Solutions serves Sandy, Oregon and surrounding communities with honest, knowledgeable service. Call 503-820-8880 to schedule your free on-site water test today.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the water test really free?
Yes. Our on-site raw water test and written proposal are free, with no obligation to purchase anything. The test gives you useful information about your water whether you choose treatment now, later, or not at all.
What does the free water test check for?
The free test checks secondary and nuisance contaminants, including hardness, iron, manganese, pH, total dissolved solids, and hydrogen sulfide. These factors cause most of the staining, scale, taste, and odor problems found in homes throughout the region.
Does the free test cover bacteria or arsenic?
No. Health-related contaminants like coliform bacteria, nitrate, and arsenic require analysis by a state accredited laboratory. We can explain when that testing is recommended for your property and help arrange proper sample collection and lab submission.
How long does an on-site water test take?
Most on-site tests take under an hour, including sample collection, testing, and reviewing the results with you at the property. A written proposal follows shortly afterward, outlining recommended treatment options, equipment, and pricing for your careful consideration.
Should homes on city water be tested too?
City water is treated for safety, but it can still be hard, chlorinated, or carry taste concerns. Testing shows whether softening, carbon filtration, or drinking water treatment would meaningfully improve water quality in your home.
Why choose Advanced Water Solutions for free water tests and estimates?
We test on site, explain results honestly, and provide no-pressure written proposals based on real data. With more than 40 years of experience, we help Sandy property owners clearly understand their water before spending any money on treatment.
