Well Water - Test It

July 20, 2008

Howdy y'all,

The solution to determining whether or not you can drink your well water is

to have it tested .. you will then know whether or not its safe .. and if

so, just how safe it is .. and if not, just what is it that makes it not

safe and that will tell you whether pouring in this or that will help ..

though I doubt that pouring anything into a well will affect the quality of

the water as its being constantly replaced. Cisterns are a different

matter but not many folks drink cistern water today.

After having lived in Turkey for 26+ years (19+ this last trip) and having

consumed bottled water the entire time .. I returned to the USA last summer

and settled in the country outside Paris, TN. We have a deep aquifer well

with mighty sweet water .. but still, I wanted to test it. Since opening

shop in 1995, I have tested the Hydrosols we sell (every 90 days) for fungal

and/or microbial contamination .. at:

Superior Labs, Inc.

1075 Amity Road

Galloway, Ohio 43119

Tel: (614) 870-6826

Tel: (800) 886-5227

Fax: (614) 851-1375

Superior Laboratories, Inc., is an authorized testing agency:

1. Ohio EPA Water Approval No. 890

2. USDA Accreditation Number 3983

Because I test a lot of Hydrosols we have a reduced price but I think the

normal price is around $40 or so.

Our water tested as being MORE PURE than the acceptable standard for

drinking water, which is a Plate Count of bacteria as high as 500 per 100 ml

of pure water. Yours may well test the same.

No need to guess .. just get your water tested and be comfortable. Matter

of fact, if you are drinking municipal water and don't mind spending a few

bucks, you might test it and it you do, don't be surprised if it shows a

contamination level that is ABOVE the acceptable standard .. many, many U.S.

cities have such drinking water.

Y'all keep smiling. :-)
