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.

Quick ViewColiforms are bacteria that are always present in the digestive tracts of animals, including humans, and are found in their wastes. They are also found in plant and soil material. Our testing procedure detects both total coliforms and e. coli bacteria.REPORTING:

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.
