OPTION 2: Our lab tests for everything, including bacteria.
If you feel more comfortable having our lab technicians do all the testing, then this is the test to order.
This version is only $249, including shipping using the USPS within the U.S. (if you are outside of the U.S., there will be an additional cost depending on your shipping location).
NOTE: Each Test Kit is for 1 tap, NOT multiple taps. If you want to test water from multiple taps, you need to order multiple test kits. If you do order multiple test kits at the same time, the shopping cart automatically applies a discount to the order. That discount depends on the number of kits ordered at the same time on the same order number.
The testing process normally takes from 15 to 20 business days once we receive your water sample at our lab.
IRB Test
This test looks for the presence of 'Slime-forming Bacteria'. While not harmful to us, it can cause unpleasant odors and can prematurely clog a water filter. It takes from 7 to 12 days of observation by a lab technician to see if bacteria are present.
If Iron-related bacteria is present in your well water you can either sanitize your well on a regular basis (see our Well Water Wellness Kit) or change your water filter more often than the normal recommended frequency. If you have questions along the way, just call us at our toll-free number, 805.39.WATER (805.399.2837) or send us an email at [email protected].
