"Ryan was professional and very diligent in checking that the shower faucet was working properly after installation. He did not bolt for the door the second he finished the job. He worked clean wearing shoe protection and cleaning up everything after he finished. The price was reasonable. 1s time I have used AJ Alberts will definitely call them in the future."
Larry Kallas
"New service - AJ Alberts installed two toilets and a kitchen faucet. Kevin Lundell was wonderful to work with. His recommendations were spot on and he did a timely job of installation. Highly recommend...."

"James from AJ Alberts Plumbing was at my home to fix an overactive toilet - it wouldn't shut off. He not only fixed it quickly but also showed me what to look for in the future if the problem happens again...."

Use the city references above to identify the right questions, not to diagnose the water at a specific address. Confirm the supplying utility or private well, review current notices, and choose testing that measures the concern you actually have.
Choose treatment only after the concern is defined
Compare the exact equipment's documented reduction claims and maintenance requirements. A basic hardness reading does not measure PFAS, and a PFAS source-water history does not establish the result at a household tap.
MDH home-softening guidance explains why softening depends on actual hardness and household needs.
The appropriate test or equipment inspection depends on the concern. Our free basic water test does not measure PFAS or establish that water is safe to drink. PFAS analysis is a separate paid laboratory service.
8 gpg (Navarre), 23 gpg (North system). Orono publishes different values for its Navarre and North water systems. Identify the system serving the address before choosing a setting. Hard water can contribute to mineral buildup. Confirm actual hardness and any treatment already in place before deciding whether to use a softener.
A.J. Alberts offers separate paid laboratory PFAS testing for municipal-water and private-well customers. We collect and submit the sample and explain the report. Confirm the test scope, price, and turnaround when scheduling; PFAS is not included in the free basic water test. A regional history does not establish the level at your tap.
Start with the current utility report or appropriate laboratory results for a private well. Select treatment for a defined concern and check the exact model's reduction claims and maintenance requirements.
Check the equipment model, installation history, maintenance and current symptoms. The age of a house does not establish the age or condition of its plumbing equipment.
