Water Test & Analysis
CONDUCTING AN ON-SITE WATER TEST
Water testing can be performed on-site for certain contaminants and get reliable readings right on-site. Based on the results, a determination can be made as to what type of water filtration system would remove any unwanted impurities in the water. The on-site testing can be performed for the following:
Hardness > Iron > Manganese > pH > Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) > Chlorine > Alkalinity
For a more complete and in-depth water test and analysis, we recommend pulling proper water samples for testing at a certified laboratory.

WATER TESTING REQUIRING A CERTIFIED LABORATORY
For health related contaminants such as Arsenic, Radon, Lead, Bacteria, Nitrates, Trihalomethanes, Haloacetic acids or for more comprehensive testing, we can assist you by properly pulling water samples of the right amounts, including complying with required maximum holding periods, temperature, and other protocol. From there, we can bring the samples to a certified lab for testing, which requires specialized analytical equipment and procedures. Once results become available, we can review them with you and discuss a course of action for any potential water filtration or water softening that may be desired.
We have Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 testing levels (see water-testing-sheet link below) or we can customize testing to your needs depending on your specific situation and reason for having your water tested. We can assist you in determining which water test to have done. The contaminants tested for under each of the three Groups are identified in detail at the following link Water-Testing-Sheet–. Water testing from a private well will require more extensive testing than water coming from a municipal supply which has already undergone a certain level of testing. If you are selling your home with a private well, your town’s Board of Health, the buyer’s home inspector or bank may dictate what must be tested for. We will assist you in determining which Group testing is right for you. Once the lab results become available, we can analyze the report, review it with you and determine if any action is required. If a water filtration system or water softener system is required, we can review your options and determine the most effective approach for you.
For more information on when and how often you should perform water testing and related information, see the link at Water Testing link.
TAKING YOUR OWN WATER SAMPLES AND BRINGING THEM TO A LAB
If you would prefer to take water samples and bring them to the lab yourself, we can direct you to the nearest one for instructions, etc. Once you get the results, we can analyze and review them with you.
