Description

Recommended for basic water quality testing in any home, building, or facility using spring water.

The Essential Spring Water package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a water sample for laboratory testing. This is an ideal baseline test for any home or building served by a spring. Analysis includes common concerns such as metals, minerals, nitrates, general chemistry, and coliform and E. coli bacteria. 

The results will include a detailed analysis of common artesian spring water health concerns related to natural water chemistry and on-premise plumbing. Testing is specialized to address contaminants such as heavy metals, minerals, bacteria, hardness, –as well as issues related to plumbing

How it works

 

What’s inside your testing kit?

Sample Collection Bottles

Your kit includes all the bottles, tubes or vials necessary to collect your water sample. For most kits, however, there is only one collection bottle needed.

Sample Information Card

Your kit includes a postcard/leaflet that asks for a few details about how and where you collected your sample (i.e. kitchen faucet). Just fill it out, drop it in the return box, and we’ll do the rest.

Shipping

Shipping is always on us. When your sample is ready for collection, let us know and we will send a courier to collect.

Return Container (If Applicable)

Some of our tests require your water sample to be cold when it reaches our labs. If this applies to your test, the proper refrigeration items will be included.
