So what about buying or selling a home? Well, what does a buyer or a seller need to know about water testing? Well, the seller must present the buyer with the arsenic test, nitrate test, and a bacteria test.
Those require by law.
That's why they need to know that.
But if I were buying a home, I would look in the back of the toilet tank to kind of investigate anywhere the water's still, turn the water on, see if there's a smell.
You know, I would pump out a bit of color.
Most of us when we go to buy a home, we don't do anything with the water.
And later we're like, oh, my sink's blue.
Or actually, my water's just kind of weird.
So we would then go to check.
You know what I mean? That's kind of a problem.
The same thing with the black.
We haven't cleaned that.
That can be a problem.
Okay.
Or actually worse, there's black in the water.
Yes.
Right.
And so what would that be a sign of? Well, it could be iron or it could be the water just sitting there.
So you need to know that.
Okay.
