Q: Is well water safe to drink?

• <div><p>With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. </p><p>If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.</p></div>

Q: How does a septic tank work?

• <div><p>Unlike an urban sewer system that runs wastewater into a central drainage system, septic tanks are a house-by-house system. They are the ultimate destination for all your house&rsquo;s wastewater&mdash;from bathtubs, showers, sinks, toilets, and washing machines. Wastewater flows into a tank buried in the ground outside your home, and then water runs from the tank to a drainage field using sloped pipes.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to have 30/50 psi or 40/60 psi for a well pump?

• <div><p>For the most part, choosing between 30/50 psi and 40/60 psi is based on your water-pressure preference. However, it can also depend a little bit on your house&mdash;if you have older plumbing, a lower water pressure can be easier on the pipes (and a bit more gentle on your well pump). </p><p>The lower 30/50 pressure is usually enough for a single-story home, but you may want 40/60 if you have multiple stories, as the extra pressure helps water flow smoothly up to the second floor.</p></div>

Q: Is well water hard water?

• <div><p>Well water is often assumed to be hard because of its high mineral content. Hard water can lead to mineral build-up in your pipes and appliances. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-deal-hard-water-and-high-pressure.htm">manage hard water</a> by installing a whole-house filter system. These systems can help extend the life of your water-reliant appliances like your hot water tank and dishwasher. </p></div>

Q: How many loads of laundry are safe to do with a septic tank?

• <div><p>Most septic tanks can handle two to three loads of laundry per day, or a weekly total of between seven and 10 loads. Although septic systems do require homeowners to be somewhat careful with their plumbing systems&mdash;for instance, it&rsquo;s not a good idea to flush a bunch of toilet paper all at once&mdash;they can still handle fairly heavy use.</p></div>
