MARK 01
NSF/ANSI 42 · 53 · 58
The lab-tested classes: 42 covers taste and chlorine, 53 covers named health contaminants, 58 covers reverse osmosis. The number matters more than the logo beside it.
Proof & aftercare
The industry sells with adjectives and pressure. This page is the opposite: the certificate format we leave on your bench, the marks worth trusting on a box, the person who signs the work and what it costs to keep it running.
The certificate
Every test visit ends with this document: each determination written beside the guideline value, dated and signed. After an install we run the bench again and add the commissioning column, so before and after live on one page.
No cloud portal, no login, no subscription. Paper, in your kitchen, with numbers a second opinion can check.
| Determination | Unit | Guide | Before | After |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total hardness | mg/L CaCO3 | < 60 | 310 | 12 |
| Free chlorine | mg/L | < 0.6 | 1.9 | 0.05 |
| Turbidity | NTU | < 1.0 | 4.8 | 0.1 |
| Iron (dissolved) | mg/L | < 0.3 | 0.9 | 0.02 |
Guide columns show indicative guideline values. All figures are sample data.
SW-CERT FORMAT · KEPT BY YOUCertification literacy
Certification marks are the one honest signal in a noisy market. These are the classes we install to, and what each actually promises. If a box carries none of them, that is your answer.

MARK 02
Industry gold-seal programs certify the whole product line and the factory behind it, not one lucky sample. We treat them as the entry ticket, not the finish line.
MARK 03
Plumbing product marks and a licensed installer are what keep an insurance assessor calm. Every Stonewell install is done under a plumbing licence and signed on the certificate.
MARK CLASSES ARE DESCRIBED GENERICALLY FOR THE TEMPLATE. A REAL DEPLOYMENT NAMES THE EXACT CERTIFICATIONS OF THE SYSTEMS SOLD.
The person at your tap

Stonewell is a workshop, not a sales floor. Reg runs the bench, signs every certificate and answers the phone number on this site. The van carries instruments and cartridges; the demo kit with the scare theatre stays wherever the other companies keep it.
Second opinions are welcome here. Bring another company's quote to the workshop and we will read the numbers with you, including the ones that say leave it alone.


Aftercare
The recurring work is the honest half of this trade. Three ways we keep a system at its commissioning numbers, each priced like the hardware: on the page.
Cartridges changed, readings re-run against commissioning, seals checked, certificate updated.

WF-01
The forever-chemical story without the sirens: where PFAS comes from, what guideline values mean, which certification class addresses it and when the right first step is an accredited lab test rather than any filter at all.

Suppliers disinfect with one or the other, and they are removed differently: chloramine shrugs off the carbon that eats chlorine. One call to your supplier, or one bench test, settles which carbon your rail needs.

Hardness is arithmetic: milligrams per litre becomes kettle fur, shower-screen film and a hot-water service working harder every year. The math from reading to running cost, worked through honestly.

A tank is a catchment you own. First-flush diverters, gutter discipline, sediment staging and a UV chamber sized to flow: the short course on drinking the roof with confidence.
