Well water should be tested regularly (at least once per year) to ensure it’s free from contaminants and pollutants. But, some people prefer doing it more frequently, depending on their specific risk factors and water usage habits.
No matter how often you choose to test your well water, several basic steps are involved in the testing process.
First, you need to collect a sample of the well water, which can be done by pouring a small amount into a special bottle you can buy at any home improvement store.
Next, your sample will need to be sent off to a laboratory for analysis by trained professionals who can identify any harmful elements that may be present.
Once the test results have been returned, you can adjust your treatment methods or take other necessary actions to ensure that your well water is safe for use.
