Perfect Plumbing Plan | Ep.6: The Testing One! Water Quality Testing, Filtration

From The Build Show.

In our final episode of the Perfect Plumbing Plan series, Matt, Eric, and Ross dive deep into one of the most critical—but often overlooked—steps in building performance: understanding and treating water quality. From sediment and hardness to heavy metals and chemical contaminants, the team explains why testing your water is the foundation of every smart plumbing decision. Drawing on real-world examples from their own homes and job sites, they break down practical solutions including sediment filtration, water softeners, carbon filtration, iron removal, UV disinfection, and reverse osmosis systems. You’ll learn how proper planning protects fixtures, extends equipment life, improves water taste, and prevents costly callbacks. Whether you’re building new, renovating, or retrofitting an existing home, this episode delivers expert insight on designing a plumbing system that’s efficient, durable, and tailored to your specific water conditions—so you can build smarter from the very start.
