Moving into a New Home? Don’t Forget the Water Quality Check
Share
There’s nothing quite like the excitement of stepping into a new home. You measure for curtains, plan where your furniture will go, and mentally list all the updates you want to make. But there’s one essential thing many new homeowners and renters overlook—the quality of the water coming out of the shower.

Yes, the shower. That daily moment of refreshment and calm might not be as clean or healthy as it should be.
What to Look Out for in a New Shower
Before settling in, take a moment to evaluate the water in your shower.
Here are some common warning signs that you might have a water quality issue:
- A strong chlorine smell — like a swimming pool
- Discoloration in the water, even slightly yellow or cloudy
- White or rust-colored residue on the showerhead or tiles
- Soap that doesn't lather well
- Dry, itchy skin or dull, unmanageable hair after showering
These are all indicators that your shower water may be doing more harm than good. And if you’ve just moved in, it’s the perfect time to address the issue—before it becomes part of your daily routine.
Why Water Quality Differs from One Home to Another
Even within the same city, water quality can vary dramatically depending on:
- The age of the plumbing system
- Whether the home uses municipal or well water
- How recently the plumbing was maintained or flushed
- Local treatment methods (some places use more chlorine or fluoride than others)
So if your skin starts to feel irritated or your hair reacts differently in your new home, it might not be your new shampoo—it could be the water.
