If your house uses a private well, you should consider testing your water once a year to assure you have safe drinking water.
We recommend our conventional (basic) package, which includes tests for total coliform and Escherichia coli bacteria, nitrates, pH, sand, and turbidity.
You should especially test your water if you have a new well or have replaced or repaired pipes, pumps, or well casing.
Depending on the type of odor and staining problem you have will determine what parameters should be tested.
The most common parameters tested for these issues include hydrogen sulfide/sulfate, chloride, iron, manganese, hardness, and lead/copper.
