Water Filtration Services in Bow, New Hampshire

Bow's private wells tap into the southern New Hampshire granite bedrock that drives arsenic, uranium, and radon concerns across the Merrimack Valley. NHDES recommends private-well testing for these naturally occurring contaminants throughout Merrimack County, and Bow fits the regional pattern. Arsenic has no taste or odor, and uranium and radon often appear with it in deeper wells. Iron and manganese staining is common in shallower wells, particularly in lower-lying ground near the Merrimack River corridor. Hardness is widespread across town. Municipal customers in the parts of Bow served by Concord's system get water that meets federal standards but still deal with chlorine residual and the lead risk tied to older interior plumbing. Given Bow's position on the Merrimack corridor and ongoing regional attention to groundwater quality, a baseline PFAS panel is a sensible part of any private-well test.
