TDS reading
We use a digital meter to show total dissolved solids in parts per million. It is a snapshot of what is dissolved in the water, not a pass-or-fail score.

Orlando & Central Florida homes
Water testing in Orlando that starts with your actual water.
City water and well water need different checks. We come to your home, do a practical water test, and explain the readings so you can understand what the next step should address.
What this visit is
A practical in-home water test, not a generic diagnosis.
The water source changes what is useful to check. That is why we separate city-water and well-water visits instead of using one checklist for every home.
City water testing
For Orlando and Central Florida city water
Municipal water has already been treated by the utility. The home visit focuses on the readings and everyday issues that can still matter at your tap, such as chlorine, hardness, dissolved solids, and soap residue.
Chlorine check
A reagent check shows whether chlorine is present at your tap. That helps explain a pool-like smell or taste.
Hardness check
We check for the minerals behind scale, cloudy glassware, and buildup on fixtures.
Soap and rinse check
A simple wash test helps show how your water behaves with soap and why it may leave residue behind.
Well water testing
For private wells in Central Florida
A private well is its own water source. The visit begins with how the well is performing, then checks the common issues that can change treatment, including iron, pH, hardness, and sulfur odor.
Flow and pressure
We start with how the well delivers water to the home, because treatment has to match the way the system runs.
Iron and pH
A color-based check helps identify iron and the water conditions that affect treatment choices.
Hardness
We use a drop-count test to check the minerals that cause scale and affect system sizing.
Sulfur odor
We check for the rotten-egg odor that is common in some Central Florida wells and changes the treatment plan.
What happens after we test your water?
The next step comes from the readings and your water source, not from a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
- 1
You see the readings we take at your home.
- 2
We explain what each reading can and cannot tell you.
- 3
If treatment makes sense, we match the recommendation to your water source and the issues found.

Questions about the visit
Water testing FAQs
Is this a laboratory water analysis?
No. This is an in-home water test and diagnosis. It gives you practical readings for the water at your tap or well so the next step can fit your home.
What is the difference between city-water and well-water testing?
City water and well water start with different questions. For city water, we check readings related to dissolved solids, chlorine, hardness, and how the water behaves with soap. For a private well, we also look at flow and pressure, iron, pH, hardness, and sulfur odor.
Can you test my well water in Central Florida?
Yes. Seagull tests private well water across Central Florida. Because wells can differ from one home to the next, the visit starts with your actual water rather than a generic recommendation.
What happens after the water test?
We walk through the readings with you and explain the options that fit the water source and the issues found. A city-water solution may be very different from a well-water solution.
