Free Water Test

Book your mailed water test.

We mail you a free test. You send your result and three install photos, and a licensed specialist reviews them with you and recommends only what your home needs.

What to expect from your free water test

Hard water and chloramine are common in the Houston area: spots, scale, chemical taste, and skin and hair that can feel dry. Find out what’s in your tap water. We mail you test strips after your small deposit. Send us your strip result and three install photos, then we call you to explain the results in plain English. No obligation.

Questions

About your water test

Does anyone come to my house for the test?

No. We offer a free mailed water test only. Send us your strip result and three install photos, then we review your results by phone or video.

How long does the test take?

We’ll text you when your mailed test ships. Follow the timing on the strip package, then send us your photos.

How do I send my results?

text or email a clear photo of the result to (832) 639-4127 or partnerships@cessaisolutions.com, and we’ll set up your results call.

What does the test check?

It’s a home water test that gives quick readings for common things like hardness and chlorine. It’s a screening test, not a full lab analysis. We also use your city’s published water quality report when we recommend a system.

Do you test well water?

Let us know on the form if you have a private well.

What does it cost?

The mailed water test is free. We collect a small deposit, subtracted from your system total when installed; non-refundable if you choose not to install. If you choose a system, pricing depends on your home and your water and is spelled out in a written proposal. When you approve it, a 30% deposit orders your system, which ships straight to your home, and the remaining 70% is due after installation. The mailed water test is free. The small deposit is subtracted from your system total when installed; it’s non-refundable if you choose not to install. You can pay it when you book through our package picker. Financing is available on qualifying systems (check your options), subject to approval.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Of course. Just call or text (832) 639-4127. If you paid the small deposit, we’ll help with the next steps.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Manufacturer equipment warranty plus 1-year warranty on installation labor. Our Premium Whole-Home package includes 5 years of labor coverage.

Do you offer filter replacement plans?

Yes. After installation you can add the RO Filter Plan ($12/month) or the Whole-Home Care Plan (Ask about plan pricing), which covers your RO filters, a yearly softener check-up and carbon media refills. Both are billed automatically, can be paid yearly for one month free, and you can cancel anytime. See the plans.
