Analyzing

Many different chemical analyses can be made with a single sample, although each chemical requires a specific test.

Collect a water sample carefully according to instructions provided by the testing lab. The size of sample needed and the testing fee are usually small for most inorganic chemicals, but analyzing for organic chemicals and pesticides may require several gallons of water.

Do not collect the sample from water stored in a pressure tank or water heater. Use a clean bottle and rinse it thoroughly with the water to be tested before collecting a sample.
