Request Water Test
To request a free on-site water test or broader laboratory testing, please fill out the form at the lower section of this page and click on the Submit button.” Free water testing for hardness, iron, pH, alkalinity and total dissolved solids. For other testing requiring a laboratory, applicable charges are required.” H2O Care can perform water testing for certain items on-site while others must have samples properly pulled and brought to a certified laboratory, complying with maximum holding periods, temperature, sample sizes, and other necessary protocol.

On-site water testing

We can perform water testing for certain items on-site with reliable testing equipment right at your home. Based on the results, we can determine what type and size system will remove the unwanted minerals or contaminants, if found in your water. We can review options with you. The on-site test can be performed for the following:

Hardness > Iron > pH > Alkalinity > Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) > Chlorine

WATER TESTING REQUIRING A LABORATORY

For health related contaminants such as Arsenic, Radon, Lead, Bacteria, Nitrates 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, etc. and bring them to a certified lab.

We have Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 testing levels (see link just below) or we can customize testing to your needs depending on your specific situation and reason for having your water tested. The contaminants tested for under each of the three Groups are identified in detail at the following link Water-Testing-Sheet-.  Testing water 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 or water softening system is required, we can review your options and determine the most effective approach for you.

Because we care about our clients…

“The water in our new home was discolored and smelled awful. Steve at H2O care tested the water and set us up with a filtration system that solved the problem quickly and fully. This is the single most satisfying home improvement we have ever made. Highly recommended.”

PULLING YOUR OWN SAMPLES AND BRINGING THEM TO A TESTING LAB

If you’d prefer to take 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.
