Common questions
Where is my data?
Only on this phone. There is no account and no server copy. Use Settings → Export my data (JSON) to keep a backup file, and Import on the new phone. The Test and Maintenance tabs can also export CSV for a spreadsheet.
Does Well Watch tell me if my water is safe?
No. It compares a number you logged to a published reference (an EPA limit, an action level, or private-well guidance) and says whether it is below or above that number. Only a certified lab and your health department can tell you what a result means for your household.
How does “next test due” work?
It uses the date of your last logged test for each type and the testing intervals CDC and EPA suggest for private wells (for example, testing for bacteria and nitrate every year).
How do reminders work?
Once you have logged a test, the installed app asks for permission to show notifications. If you allow it, the phone schedules a reminder for the next due date, right on the device. You can turn notifications off any time in your phone’s Settings.
I’m moving to a new phone. What do I do?
On the old phone: Settings → Export my data. Send the file to yourself (AirDrop, Files, email). On the new phone: Settings → Import and pick that file.
Does it cost anything?
Version 1.0 is free, with no ads and no purchases.
Before you email
- Tell us your phone model and whether it’s iPhone or Android.
- Tell us what you tapped and what you expected to happen.
- Please don’t send backup files unless we ask. They can contain your records.
Well Watch does not tell you your water is safe. It is not a lab and not medical advice. Have your water tested by a certified lab and talk to your local health department about any result that worries you.
