Testing the Well Before You Buy RO
The test decides the hardware.

Why this comes up
The test decides the hardware. Test before you buy. A pretty system on the wrong problem is an expensive counter decoration.
What to check on the map first
County GIS lines are assessment maps. They are not a survey, and a product will not redraw them.
Open Platbookmapper and choose the state. The directory sends you to the county viewer. Match the parcel ID before you trust a pin on an aerial photo.
A tool that matches the job
Shop the Well water test kit when that is the job in front of you. Test before you buy. A pretty system on the wrong problem is an expensive counter decoration.
The limit
Test the well before you buy a system. Reverse osmosis treats a drinking tap. It does not fix every well problem, and it is not a survey tool.
Match the parcel ID on the tax bill before you shop for the field kit.
Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey.
