Here are some signs that you&#8217;re dealing with a scammer.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Door-to-door: Salesmen tell you that they will test your water for you. These are signs of scams if they are pushy about testing your water, claim to work for the government, or do not have a permit.<\/li>\n<li>Tablets or Droplet Tests: Some representatives may add tablets or drops to your water and tell you that if it changes color, it\u2019s contaminated. They could be adding anything to get you to buy their water treatment system.<\/li>\n<li>By mail or phone: A company might not even come to your home or ask to test your water. They may send you a test tube that you must send in, and then they might call you and offer you a water purifier as part of a more significant promotion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Beware of Free Home Water Tests<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Not all companies offer legitimate water tests. If a company offers \u201cfree water tests,\u201d it might be trying to sell you an expensive water system, whether you need it or not.<\/li>\n<li>The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns people to avoid \u201cfree\u201d in-home water tests.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Disregard Government, Water Quality Association Claims, and\/or EPA Registration<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>This is a sales tactic if a company claims to work for the government (state or local). The government does not endorse water tests or water treatment products.<\/li>\n<li>If you see an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/environmental-topics\/water-topics\">Environmental Protection Agency<\/a> (EPA) registration number, it does not mean the product has been tested or approved by the EPA.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/wqa.org\/news\/water-quality-association-calls-attention-to-reports-of-door-to-door-scams-in-illinois\/\">Water Quality Association<\/a> (WQA) has offered standardized training and certification programs for the industry for over forty years.
