Deluxe Well Water Testing Kit – 107 Contaminants

Private well water is not treated or routinely monitored by a municipal water department, which means regular testing is one of the most important ways to understand what may be present in your water.

The Deluxe Well Water Testing Kit is the most comprehensive well water testing option we offer. It includes everything tested in the Standard Well Water Testing Kit, with additional testing for pesticides, herbicides, and PCBs.

Santé for Health is proud to offer this testing kit in partnership with National Testing Laboratories, also known as NTL. Simply collect your water samples using the included containers and return them to the laboratory for professional analysis. You will receive an easy-to-read report showing your results alongside applicable national EPA drinking-water standards.

Testing Includes:

Bacteria

Tests for common bacteria indicators that may be present in private well water and can help identify possible contamination concerns.

Metals and Minerals

Evaluates metals and minerals that may occur naturally in groundwater or enter water through plumbing, well components, soil, rock, or environmental conditions. This may include common concerns such as lead, arsenic, iron, manganese, copper, and other metals.

Inorganic Chemicals

Tests for inorganic substances commonly found in drinking water, including compounds associated with natural mineral deposits, agricultural activity, runoff, and groundwater conditions.

Physical Water Characteristics

Evaluates important characteristics that can affect water quality, taste, plumbing, and filtration needs, including:

• Alkalinity
• Hardness
• pH
• Total dissolved solids
• Additional physical water factors

Uranium

Includes testing for uranium, a naturally occurring element that may be found in some groundwater sources.

Volatile Organic Compounds

Tests for volatile organic compounds, also known as VOCs, which may enter groundwater from fuel, solvents, industrial activity, chemical runoff, or environmental contamination.

Trihalomethanes

Tests for trihalomethanes, also known as THMs. While THMs are most commonly associated with disinfected municipal water, testing may be useful for customers who want a broader look at possible chemical contaminants or who use treated source water.

Pesticides and Herbicides

Tests for select pesticides and herbicides that may enter groundwater through agricultural activity, landscaping, runoff, or nearby land use.

PCBs

Tests for polychlorinated biphenyls, also known as PCBs, which are industrial compounds that may be a concern in areas with older industrial activity, contaminated soil, or environmental exposure concerns.

The complete testing package covers 107 individual analytes.
