Here's exactly what happens when you book a free water test. No mystery, no pressure.

People hesitate to book because they don't know what they're agreeing to. So here it is, start to finish:

1. We come to the house at a time that works for you.
2. We run the in-home screening and go through the results with you at the counter, right then.
3. If something you're concerned about needs accredited laboratory analysis — radon, arsenic, uranium, bacteria — we tell you that plainly and explain how sample collection works.
4. We give you our read on what, if anything, would be worth addressing.
5. You decide. That's it.

Sometimes the honest answer is that the water is in good shape and nothing needs to change. We'd rather tell you that than sell you a system you don't need.

Test. Analyze. Recommend. Treat. Maintain. In that order, every time.

Radon has no color, no smell, and no taste. Your senses are not a test.

Iron announces itself. Sulfur announces itself. Hard water leaves crust on the faucet and spots on the glassware.

Radon does none of that. Neither does arsenic or uranium. There is no visible clue, no odor, no aftertaste — nothing a homeowner could reasonably notice on their own.

That's what makes it different from most of what we get called about. With staining or a rotten-egg smell, the water is telling you something. With radon, the water tells you nothing at all. The only way to know is a laboratory analysis of a properly collected sample.

And because radon levels track with local geology and groundwater conditions, your neighbor's result is context — not an answer for your well.

"We've never had a problem with our water" describes your experience. It doesn't describe your water.

If it's been years — or never — start with the free in-home water test from Aerus of Brewer. We'll cover what the on-site screening shows and arrange the accredited laboratory analysis where radon is the concern. Call (207) 989-5143 or book online: https://bit.ly/4uJ8T2w

4,000. That's the number Maine uses for radon in your water.

Here's the guidance, straight, without spin:

Maine's advisory level for radon in a home's water supply is 4,000 pCi/L. At or above that level, the State recommends you begin by reviewing your total radon risk — air and water together. As the result gets closer to 10,000 pCi/L, the State's guidance moves toward strongly considering treatment.

For radon in indoor air, the advisory level is 4 pCi/L, with Maine CDC recommending you also consider action between 2 and 4.

Two different numbers, two different units, two different tests. Confusing them is the most common mistake we see.

The practical takeaway for a well owner: an air test result tells you nothing about your water result, and vice versa. If you want the full picture, you need both.

Start with the water. Aerus of Brewer's free in-home water test is the first step, and we'll be direct about which concerns — radon included — require accredited laboratory analysis rather than an on-site screening. Call (207) 989-5143 or book online: https://bit.ly/4uJ8T2w

Most Mainers know radon is an air problem. Fewer know it can come in through the well.

Radon forms naturally as uranium breaks down in the granite bedrock Maine sits on. That's why it shows up in basements across this state.

What gets less attention: in a home on a drilled well, radon can also dissolve into the groundwater and enter the house through the plumbing. Every shower, every dishwasher cycle, every faucet run releases some of it into the indoor air.

So a home can have a radon-in-air result and a separate radon-in-water result. They're two different tests measuring two different pathways into the same house.

If you're on a private well and you've tested your air but never your water, you've looked at one door and left the other one closed.

Not sure whether your well has ever been tested for radon? Start with Aerus of Brewer's free in-home water test — we'll walk through what we can check on-site and where accredited laboratory analysis is the right next step for radon specifically.

Clear water doesn't automatically mean clean water.

Iron and manganese can leave visible clues — staining, metallic taste, or dingy laundry. But not every water-quality concern announces itself that way.

Arsenic doesn't do that. Neither does uranium, or radon, or a lot of what shows up in Maine well water. No color. No smell. No taste. The only way to know is to test for it specifically.

Nearby homes can still return different private-well results because wells interact with local geology and groundwater conditions. A neighbor's test is useful context, but it does not replace testing your own well.

'It looks fine' is an observation, not a complete test result. Appearance, taste, and smell can tell you some things — but they cannot tell you everything.

Don't let appearance be the whole test. Call (207) 989-5143 for a free in-home water test, and we'll also explain when accredited laboratory testing is the right next step. Or Book online: https://bit.ly/4uJ8T2w

Well water doesn't come with a label. That's the whole problem.

Public water systems are required to sample and test regularly. A private well is different: the property owner is responsible for arranging the testing and treatment.

That is why treatment should follow testing, not the other way around. The process is:

Test. Analyze. Recommend. Treat. Maintain.

In that order, every time. Aerus can begin with a free in-home water test. Some contaminants require accredited laboratory testing rather than an in-home screening. The goal is the same: understand the water first, use the right level of testing for the concern, then match treatment to the result.

Maine CDC recommends testing private wells annually for bacteria and nitrates, and every three to five years for a broader panel that includes arsenic, iron, manganese, hardness, pH, radon, and uranium. If it's been longer than that since your last comprehensive test, the schedule itself is a reason to revisit it.

Start with the water itself. Schedule your free in-home well water test. If your concern requires accredited laboratory testing, we'll be clear about that too. Call (207) 989-5143. Or book online: https://bit.ly/4uJ8T2w

Your water can be 100% legal and still be worth a second look.

For the latest EPA quarter shown in EWG's database, Bangor Water District was in compliance with federal health-based drinking water standards. That matters — regulatory compliance is real.

But the Environmental Working Group's Tap Water Database also shows a separate set of health guidelines, which may be lower than federal legal limits. EWG's Bangor Water District page reports several disinfection byproducts above EWG's health guidelines while the utility remained in compliance with federal health-based standards for the latest EPA quarter shown.

That's not a violation. It's not a scandal. It's two different yardsticks measuring different things, and the distinction is worth understanding.

We're not here to tell you your water is unsafe. We're here to tell you it's worth knowing what's actually in it before you decide whether it matters to you.

Curious about the water coming out of your tap? Start with Aerus of Brewer's free in-home water test — a practical first look before you decide whether any treatment makes sense. Call (207) 989-5143. Or book online https://bit.ly/4uJ8T2w

Water problems rarely stop at the kitchen faucet.

The water entering your Maine home touches nearly everything:

Your shower.
Your washing machine.
Your dishwasher.
Your water heater.
Your plumbing fixtures.
Your morning coffee.

Hardness, iron, sediment, odor, and other water concerns can affect more than taste. They may contribute to scale buildup, staining, extra cleaning, reduced appliance efficiency, and frustration throughout the house.

That is why water treatment should begin with the whole home—not just a pitcher on the counter.

The goal is not to sell every homeowner the same equipment. It is to understand the water source, identify the actual concerns, and match the treatment approach to the property and the family using it.

Aerus of Brewer provides local guidance, installation options, and continued support for Maine homeowners who want clearer answers about their water.

Those orange stains are not just a cleaning problem.

If orange or reddish marks keep returning around sinks, toilets, tubs, or laundry, scrubbing harder may only remove the evidence temporarily.

The staining may be connected to iron or other conditions in the home’s water.

Other clues can include:

• Metallic taste
• Discolored laundry
• Sediment in fixtures
• Staining that returns quickly
• Water that changes color after sitting

The important part is identifying the cause before choosing a solution.

Different water concerns require different treatment approaches. A system designed for hardness may not address iron. A basic sediment filter may not solve odor or staining. What works for one Maine home may not fit the well, plumbing, or water chemistry in another.

Aerus of Brewer takes a practical approach: understand the water first, then discuss the options that make sense for the home.

Clear water can still be trying to tell you something.
Many Maine homeowners assume water is fine if it looks clear and does not have a strong odor.
But appearance alone cannot tell you everything about what is happening in your water—or what it may be doing to your plumbing, fixtures, appliances, laundry, and skin.
Common warning signs include:
• Rust-colored staining
• White scale around faucets
• Spots on dishes and glassware
• Dry-feeling skin after showering
• Metallic, salty, or unpleasant taste
• Rotten-egg or musty odors
Every home and water source is different. The right starting point is not guessing—or buying a one-size-fits-all system.
It is understanding what is actually in your water and which concerns matter most to your household.
Aerus of Brewer helps Maine homeowners evaluate their water and explore treatment options designed for their specific home.
