Bacteria, natural impurities and surface contaminants can all affect the quality of your well water. Make sure you know how often to test and what test package to use

Water that is completely pure doesn’t exist for very long in nature. Water carries some of almost everything it touches. While falling as precipitation, it picks up gases, ions and dust particles from the atmosphere. When it reaches the earth, it flows over or through plant materials and surface layers of soil and rock, dissolving minerals.
