Collecting water samples
It is important to collect water samples properly in order to ensure accurate testing. Below are resources to use when collecting your water samples.
To get a sample representative of your well water, we recommend that you allow the pump to run for at least 10 minutes to flush out the lines before rinsing your bottle and collecting your sample.
