Frequently Asked Questions: Q. Do I really need all these tests? A. We have selected the top most important tests for well water. If you have drilled a new well, or are trying to improve the water in your existing well you need to have the following tests: bacteria, pH, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, hardness, alkalinity, nitrate, sulfate, copper, chloride and total dissolved solids. With the results from these tests, our certified water specialists (or other water treatment professionals) can help you decide if you need water treatment and which type is best. Unless you know these basic parameters, it is very difficult to select a system, particularly if you have rust stains, blue or green stains, white stains, corrosion issues, odors, or other water problems. Q. Are test strips reliable? A. Test strips have been used for more than fifty years for diagnostic and monitoring purposes. Now they are so reliable that they are widely used for a variety of purpose. Our test strips have been developed specifically for ground water and drinking water testing. This reliable technology provides greater sensitivity and accuracy than previous tests for ions in water. Q. Can I trust the Home Water Well Test Kit results? A. These products have been made with the utmost care and attention using manufactuing procedures that minimize lot-to-lot variations found in some test strip kits. Quality Control testing of each lot confirms that the product performs properly at the time of manufacture before the lot is released for sale. Shelf life has been determined by carefultesting to assure that the product performance meets the shelf life claims (a minimum of six months up to two years). In addition, independent certified laboratories have confirmed the performance claims of these products. Q. Can test strips be trusted to be accurate? A. Detection sensitivity is dependent on methodology; that is, if you vary the test procedure, the accuracy and sensitivity can be compromised. This is true for all testing methods, including the tests in this kit. If you follow the easy procedures carefully your results will provide a valid, accurate assessment of your water. Q. What about the safety of the test strips? A. The chemicals used pose no significant danger or hazard as long as test procedures and precautions are followed. The products contained in the kit are inherently safe to use and handle. Chemicals impregnanted on the test pads are non-toxic with the exception of the hydrogen-sulfide test, which contains a small amount of lead bromide. Do not put the test strips in your mouth, and wash your hands before and after using the test kits. Merely follow the common sense precautions included in the simple instructions with the kit for best results! Q. Why is Total Dissolved Solids (also referred to as "TDS") important? A. TDS is a measure of the dissolved solids in water, and in wells, this means salts, disssolved minerals and metals. Before determining if a treatment is needed, it is important to know the TDS level in your water. The United States Environmental Protection Agency recommends levels below 500 ppm. High TDS can affect not only the taste of your water, but also contribute to corrosion of piping and fixtures, and leave white stains or spots on glass and other fixtures. TDS can change over the years also, and this TDS meter will provide a method you can quickly and easily test your well water periodically. TDS meters are also used to test the effectiveness and performance of under-the-counter reverse osmosis purifiers. Q. What is the tannin test for? What are tannins? A. Tannins (humic acids) cause a light brown or yellow color to the water. They are caused by the water coming in contact with decaying plant material. If the water has tannin in it, a separate tannin filter is used, or the water can be chlorinated and filtered to remove the tannin. We need to test for tannin in our lab. If your water has a brown or yellow color to it, you may want to send us a sample so we can see if the color is from tannins and recommend a solution. Tannin is more common in surface water such as springs, or shallow wells less than 200 feet, that are under the influence of surface water. Q. Can I order more of individual test strips at a later date? A. Yes. With many of our systems, such as iron filters, acid neutralizers and water softeners we provide additional test strips free of charge with your order! Once you find out which of the parameters you want to do additional testing for however, you can easily just order more of those test strips. Q. I want to test for lead, is that available? A. Yes. You can add a Lead test kit for only $29. Q. I live near a gas station (or industrial site, or agricultural area) and I am worried about chemicals such as MTBE, pesticides, or herbicides. Is there an option I can add that will let me test for those? A. There is no comprehensive home test kit you can use yourself for these contaminants. However, we have an arrangement with one of the top laboratories in the country to do this service at a low cost for this type of service.Click here for more information on the Ultimate Well Water Test Kit. Its not for everyone, but if you suspect chemicals, it is a low cost option.
