Water testing

Your water may look and taste fine—but appearance isn’t everything.  A complete Water Analysis offers a fast, easy, and accurate way to test your drinking water for a wide array of harmful contaminants. Using a kit from a local lab, we take 3 samples of water and overnight the samples to the lab.  They test for:

  • Bacteria
  • Lead
  • Pesticides
  • Total Alkalinity
  • Total Chlorine
  • Total Hardness
  • pH (Acidity)
  • Iron
  • Copper
  • Nitrates
  • Nitrites

Perfect for households, cottages, RVs, schools, offices, and especially private wells—where water safety often isn’t regulated—it empowers you to detect potential hazards and take action promptly.

Clean drinking water is essential for good health. The water from your tap may not be safe. Even if your water looks and taste good it may contain harmful contaminants. Bottled water and private wells are not regulated by the US EPA. It is up to you to test your water for harmful contaminants. Your family deserves the safest and healthiest water possible. Water experts advise testing the water you drink regularly.

WHAT IS TOTAL WATER QUALITY?

Water quality is determined by the amount of contaminants in your drinking water. Some contaminants are capable of causing a wide range of health problems. For this reason, it is very important to know the amount and kinds of contaminants that are in your drinking water. If the levels of contaminants in your water are below EPA guidelines, the water is considered safe to drink.

WHERE DOES YOUR DRINKING WATER COME FROM?

About half of our drinking water supply comes from surface water such as streams, rivers and lakes. The other half comes from water found underground.

More than one-third of Americans receive their drinking water from wells.
