The Truth About Your Water

Everyone should have their drinking and bathing water tested regularly.

Private wells are at the top of the danger list for drinking water quality. Even public and city water systems can offer surprising amounts of chemical and biological contamination.

The direct source of water is not the only factor that affects what is in it. Your drinking water must pass through a maze of piping, fittings, and possibly even lead solder to arrive at your faucet. Many water systems, constructed prior to 1930, used lead elbows and other fittings to carry residential drinking water supplies to customers. The possibility of having some form of bacterial or industrial contaminant in your drinking water has never been greater.

Having your water professionally tested by a laboratory using certified testing methods can eliminate any doubts about the quality of the water your family uses everyday for drinking, cooking, bathing, and washing clothes and dishes.

There are many options available when deciding on a water quality test. The water testing market consists of everything from a simple swimming pool type, "do it yourself test kit", to an all inclusive laboratory analysis for every known element. The type of testing we strongly recommend is based on testing required by many State and County health departments, the type of testing needed when buying or selling a residence. It is a comprehensive test we call the "Priority 150". The State of New Jersey, where e-WaterTest.com is located, is the most densely populated State in the nation and has extremely high levels of industrial activity. The need for thorough water testing by laboratories using certified testing methods is essential for public safety. This same comprehensive water quality test is now available by mail!
