Water Testing in De Luz, CA

What to Test For in De Luz Wells

The geology in De Luz — gabbroic rock and weathered granite — directly determines what contaminants you're likely to find in your well water.

Common Contaminants in De Luz

Based on local geology and decades of testing De Luz wells, here's what we typically find:

• Water hardness: 8-14 grains — this causes scale buildup on fixtures, water heaters, and appliances
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): 300-600 ppm — affects taste and can indicate other contaminants
• Specific to gabbroic rock and weathered granite: moderate hardness, occasional boron (bad for avocados)

Neighborhood-Specific Concerns
