What This Site Is
Well Water Advisor is an independent research and publishing platform focused on private well water: testing, contamination, and treatment system sizing. Our guides and free diagnostic calculator are built to help homeowners understand a water problem before they spend money on equipment.
Our Methodology
Recommendations on this site are based on standardized water treatment engineering rather than personal opinion. That includes grains-per-gallon calculations for water hardness, gallons-per-minute flow rate sizing for whole-house systems, and contaminant thresholds referencing commonly cited EPA secondary and primary drinking water standards. The diagnostic calculator applies this same logic consistently to every set of inputs.
Editorial Process
Our editorial workflow utilizes data modeling algorithms alongside human technical oversight. All sizing formulas, flow rate calculations, and contaminant thresholds are verified against official EPA secondary standards and WQA guidelines.
What We Are Not
This site is not a certified water testing laboratory, a licensed well contractor, or a substitute for either. Any diagnostic result from this site, especially anything involving bacteria, nitrates, or other health-related contaminants, should be confirmed with a certified lab test before you make a treatment decision.
Editorial Neutrality
