Quick ViewIn ground water, as well as some surface waters, the most significant inorganic species of Arsenic (As) of concern are Arsenite (As3+) and Arsenate (As5+). As5+ is easier to remove/filter from than As3+. Therefore, if there is a known quantity of Arsenic in your water, knowing it's oxidation state is essential information for it's effective removal. Sample Kit Shipping, Turnaround Time, and Reporting Once you place your order, you will receive your water testing kit within 5-7 business days. Follow the water sampling instructions included in the kit and return the kit using the pre-paid return shipping label. Once your sample is received by our laboratory, you will receive your results within 5-working days. Your analytical data reports are emailed in .pdf format. Note: The reported analytical data contained within the arsenic speciation water test report are NOT to be used for compliance purpose. -
Quick ViewOur City Verify testing service tests your water for the following parameters: General Chemistry - pH, Conductivity, Color, Turbidity, Alkalinity, Hardness, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Mineral Salts - Fluoride, Chloride, Nitrate, Sulfate, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium. Trace Metals - Copper, Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Boron. Heavy Metals - Arsenic, Barium, Lead. Microbiological:- Total coliforms: Include bacteria that are found in water that has been influenced by surface water, in human or animal waste, and in soil.
- Escherichia coli (E. coli): A the major species in the fecal coliform group. Of the five general groups of bacteria that comprise the total coliforms, only E. coli is generally not found growing and reproducing in the environment. Consequently, E. coli is considered to be the species of coliform bacteria that is the best indicator of fecal pollution and the possible presence of pathogens.
THMs are part of a larger group of compounds called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). We will analysis the complete suite of VOCs along with the THMs when you order the City Verify testing service. The Four THMs are:
Chloroform, Dibromochloromethane, Bromoform, and Bromodichloromethane.
- Chloroform (CAS# 67-66-3);
- Bromoform (CAS# 75-25-2);
- Bromodichloromethane (CAS# 75-27-4);
- Dibromochloromethane (CAS# 124-48-1);

Quick ViewChromium (Cr) is a naturally occurring metal that can be found in soil and ground waters. It is a nonessential trace element for plant health but essential for animal health. The common forms of chromium are trivalent chromium, Cr(III), and hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI). In the environment, hexavalent chromium occurs mostly as chromate ion (CrO42-). Chromium salts are used in numerous industrial processes including electroplating and the manufacture of pigments and paints. Historically, chromate was used extensively as a corrosion inhibitor in open and closed cooling water systems, however alternative inhibitors have superseded chromate due to environmental and public health concerns related to Cr VI discharges. Our testing service will tell you how much hexavalent chromium is present in your water. Sample Kit Shipping, Turnaround Time, and Reporting Once you place your order, you will receive your water testing kit within 5-7 business days. Follow the water sampling instructions included in the kit and return the kit using the pre-paid return shipping label. Once your sample is received by our laboratory, you will receive your results within 5-working days. Your analytical data reports are emailed in .pdf format. Note: The reported analytical data contained within the Hexavalent Chromium water test report are NOT to be used for compliance purpose. -
Quick ViewThere are many reasons to test your well water. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has this to say… “If you have your own well, you are responsible for making sure that your water is safe to drink. Private wells should be tested annually for at least nitrate and bacteria to detect contamination problems early.” In addition to an annual test, The National Ground Water Association recommends that well owners test their water:- Any time there is a change in the taste, odor, or appearance of the well water, or if a problem occurs such as a broken well cap or a new contamination source;
- If family members or house guests have recurrent incidents of gastrointestinal illness;
- If you wish to monitor the efficiency and performance of home water treatment equipment.
- Total coliforms: Include bacteria that are found in water that has been influenced by surface water, in human or animal waste, and in soil.
- Escherichia coli (E. coli): A the major species in the fecal coliform group. Of the five general groups of bacteria that comprise the total coliforms, only E. coli is generally not found growing and reproducing in the environment. Consequently, E. coli is considered to be the species of coliform bacteria that is the best indicator of fecal pollution and the possible presence of pathogens.
