Water Sample Information- Which Water Sample Do You Need

FULL SAMPLE- BASELINE WATER SAMPLING RECOMMENDED

A bacteria, inorganic panel, and a nitrate/nitrite is provided.  This is a good start for elective sampling at the wellhead.
If you have a treatment system, the best value is to request the full panel PLUS an extra inorganic panel at a point of use after any filtration or treatment system and/or a bacteria sample at a point of use after mechanical or chemical disinfection system. .
