Who we are
Meet your water quality consultant, Michelle Wium. Water Check is run by Michelle, a former ISO/IEC 17025 Technical Signatory who spent years validating lab results for commercial testing facilities in Johannesburg and Cape Town. She founded Water Check because independent, plain-English advice — not filter sales — was missing for everyday homeowners and small operations.
