For the full picture of Sarasota’s water — City of Sarasota vs Sarasota County, hardness and PFAS — see our Sarasota water treatment & filtration page. Below is what the free test covers.
What the free test covers
Hardness (grains per gallon), chlorine and chloramine, iron, and the aesthetics you actually notice — right there at your sink, with a real local tech, not a mail-in kit.
Why testing beats guessing
Sarasota’s water varies by address — City of Sarasota (free chlorine) vs Sarasota County (chloramine, about 7 grains). A test tells us exactly what your home needs instead of a one-size box.
What happens next
If you need something, we recommend only what your water actually calls for. If you don’t, we’ll tell you that too — no pressure, ever.
Common questions
Is the water test really free? +
Yes — a real local tech comes to your home, tests on the spot, and explains what your water needs. No cost, no obligation.
What does the test cover? +
Hardness, chlorine/chloramine, iron and the aesthetic issues you notice (taste, smell, spotting). For wells we look at sulfur, iron and more.
How long does it take? +
Usually about 30 minutes, and you get plain-English answers on the spot.
Do you test well water too? +
Yes — well testing is important because iron, sulfur, bacteria and pH shift over time. UF/IFAS recommends testing wells yearly.
Will you pressure me to buy? +
No. If your water is fine, we’ll say so. If it needs help, we recommend only what it actually calls for.
