Filtration Technologies for Homeowners

 

 

 

 

Request a rush and for an additional $20-30 get your results back within 36 hours of when the samples arrive at our Lab

you cannot get a faster turnaround anywhere else!!!

 

MCL = Maximum Concentration Limit. The maximum amount allowed in your water supply.

MDL = Minimum Detection Limit. The numbers given represent the sensitivity of the tests being used. Some parameters can be tested using more sensitive methods when it is necessary.

 Also see Microorganism / Coliforms, Giardia etc     EPAhttp://www.epa.gov/safewater/mcl.html#mcls

Tests of individual parameters are always more expensive.

If you request our RAPID SCREEN test, you will get important results for many more tests and SAVE MONEY
