Know your geology risk
Some Atlantic bedrock areas are associated with arsenic or uranium in groundwater. Public health units often publish local guidance — follow it.
Test specifically
Ask labs for arsenic and uranium in addition to the standard bacteria and metals panel when risk applies.
Treatment notes
Point-of-use RO is a common drinking-water strategy for many dissolved contaminants; whole-home approaches depend on levels and water use. Always verify with a qualified installer and current guidelines.
