We absolutely love finding out that local health officials and water quality experts in areas have banded together to provide low-cost testing to local residents. Today’s water testing good news came to us from Michigan where residents of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego counties can take advantage of two different testing packages for nominal fees. [...]
Have you ever looked at a body of water and thought, “Is that SAFE to swim in?” If so, then good for you! Too many people just jump right in without thinking about the potential risks associated with swimming in questionable water… and wind up getting SICK! The standards for safe drinking water are hundreds [...]
Today’s inquiry came to us from ‘Ramprakash’ who very plainly said, “I want to buy Master Water Testing Kits”. We think you have excellent taste water test kits, Ramprakash, because the Well Driller Master Test Kit puts the power to perform multiple samplings on water sources right where it belongs: In the hands of private [...]
As the weather warms and school science fair project season rolls back around you may want to keep the WaterSafe Science Project Kit in mind. Available in 4-packs and 10-packs, the kits allow users to quickly and easily test water samples for 8 important water quality parameters: Lead – individual test Bacteria – individual test [...]
OK, so if THIS does not tell you that owners of private wells should perform periodic testing of the water pulled from their wells, then we wholeheartedly doubt we will ever find a better reason. A hobbyist drone (unmanned aircraft) pilot in the Dallas, TX area captured a rather disturbing image of what looked like [...]
One would THINK that water coolers absolutely and always contain safe, clean drinking water… but they may not depending upon the frequency of bottle changes and routine maintenance. Safe bet that if you look at the catch tray beneath the spigots (faucet-looking things) and see something fuzzy growing in it, no one has cleaned the [...]
Web sites have flaunted the results of studies about bacteria on and around the ice machines and soda fountains in the food service industry (especially the self-service ones. Yuck!) but today’s email inquiry comes to us from ‘Jacky’ who said, “My friends and I own a small eatery with a bed-n-breakfast in the mountains and [...]
An old saying goes, “No matter where in the world you go, there you are.” We believe that saying has quite a lot of significance in the world of water testing, too, because water supplies all over the world could potentially have contamination issues… so testing the water locally will always make sense in our [...]
We recently received an email from ‘Janelle’ in North Carolina who wrote, “I’m trying to find someone to come test my well water. I’m in Reidsville, NC. And we are just renters I have never had well water before and I would like to know what’s in it. When it rains really hard for a [...]
We have written about the importance of testing ground and well water before, during and after hydraulic fracturing many times in the past and will more than likely continue to do so for a long time to come. The potential (and real!) dangers posed by the injection of such large quantities of mysterious chemical cocktails [...]
