RETEGO Labs Water Testing
We can provide the ultimate peace of mind with our various water testing and analysis services.
As a Water Lab and Conditioner Dealer we do Much More than a Simple Color Change Test!
Onsite Testing with RETEGO's Patented TTR-2
With the exclusive TTR-2 lab quality testing can be done immediately in your home or business. In this case we:
- Collect water samples from 3 locations in your home to compare dynamic changes. We’ll test:
💧Feed Water 💧Cold Water 💧Hot Water
- Samples are also tested onsite with RETEGO’s patented TTR-2. We’ll test more than a dozen critical water quality measurements.
- With this information we will compare test results against more than a dozen indexes designed to predict scale and corrosion. With this we’ll be able to perfectly balance your water!
Offsite Lab
Some tests (like bacterial testing) require offsite testing within a lab. In that case we simply:
- Collect a water sample.
Our WQA-certified experts will visit your home or business to evaluate the physical situation and collect the actual samples of water in approved containers. You pay the appropriate fee (applied in full towards the solution that you choose).
- Ship it to our laboratory.
We submit your sample/s to our laboratory using expedited shipping service/s.
- Receive your in depth report along with our expert recommendations.
We’ll give you an easy-to-read report that has all of your results compared side-by-side with National EPA Standards. We also provide an interpretation of the results along with our professional recommendations for the most effective and affordable way to improve the water. Our recommendations are simple, clear, and easy to understand with guidance on how to treat your water as effectively and affordably as possible.

Revolutionary In-Home Testing
Revolutionary testing has changed how we see residential water
Each home has a unique water footprint!
As water flows through the various materials of the plumbing, appliances and fixtures, its chemistry can be altered in ways that are distinctive.
Each home contains a combination of plumbing materials, appliances, water conditioners, and other factors that can present a unique and specific water treatment challenge.
🛁PEX 🚿Copper 🚽Galvanized
🛁🚽🚿Most have a combination of these materials.
As water flows through the various materials of the plumbing, appliances and fixtures, its chemistry can be altered in ways that are distinctive.
Further changes to the water quality could occur as we attempt to improve it in a variety of ways including filters, water heaters, softeners, RO filter systems and/or combinations thereof.
⚛️⚗️🔬 As water flows through your plumbing water wants to balance. It achieves that balance by either leaching metals from the materials it encounters (corrosion) or by depositing minerals (scaling).
Hungry Water eats plumbing and appliances until it's full (corrosion).
Full Water has had too much to eat and leaves the extra behind (scale).
We Bring the Lab to You
Corrosion From too Few Minerals
Scale From too Many Minerals in Water
Testimonials
"RETEGO did a very thorough inspection in testing our water. They were extremely professional. They went the extra mile and crawled around in our spider web infested crawlspace to photograph and trace our waterlines....If your home was built before 1980 you should call these guys..." Amanda
RETEGO was able to quickly identify the corrosion issues that were contributing to our water heater failures and introduced us to Crusader Water who advised us on how to address the problem. The Crusader Active Armour system was installed at a minimal cost and the situation has improved. Destination Homes
"Softer Skin and Hair (a different feeling than our old softener - like our skin is hydrated better)" "Vastly improved water taste and clarity (Our ice is clear, no more floaties)" "Greatly reduced staining on our counters, faucets and appliances!" "Improved Laundry Results (Better colors and whiter whites than our old softener)" "The taste of my morning oatmeal is creamier" "My coffee maker stays cleaner & the taste of the coffee is improved" "The water is not slimy like my old softener" "I'm down to one tablespoon of soap in my washing machine" Various
