Water Filtration Services in Lancaster, New Hampshire

In Lancaster and the surrounding Coos County area, the water profile is different from southern NH. Arsenic is less dominant as a regional driver than it is around Bedford or Merrimack, though it can still appear in individual wells and should always be tested. The more common issues are iron, manganese, hardness, and in some cases tannins from organic-rich soils and heavy forest cover. Low pH and corrosive water are more common in the North Country, which can leach copper and lead out of interior plumbing even when the well itself is clean. Agricultural activity in the Connecticut River valley adds nitrate as a consideration for wells near current or former farmland. Shallower wells near the river corridor can be surface-influenced and more prone to bacterial contamination, especially after heavy runoff.
