WATER TESTING INSTRUCTIONS
collecting samples
Microbiological (bacteria) water samples should be delivered in a sterilized bottle available from Indepth. Alternatively, a clean water bottle such as Dasani or Aqua Fina bottle can be used.
If using a microbiological sample bottle from Indepth, remove the plastic seal completely and ensure the white powder stays in the bottle. Remove the aerator from an inside source (kitchen or bathroom sink) or use the tub spout. Using rubbing alcohol and a paper towel, or the enclosed alcohol wipe, disinfect the source by cleaning inside the spout, spigot, yard hydrant, etc. The edge (threads) should also be cleaned. Let it air dry for about 1 minute. Turn the water on, run until clear and cold, from 3 to 5 minutes. Fill bottle(s) without touching the bottle to the source.
*Fill the bottle to the 100 ml line (indicated on bottle). IMPORTANT: Do not overflow the bottle or it can cause the white testing powder to overflow and may result in false test results.
submitting samples
The sample should be kept cold (refrigerated or in a cooler). It must be delivered to the Indepth lab within 24 hours of collection.
On a piece of paper, note the address of the property, the date/time the sample was taken, and the sample location (i.e., kitchen sink, tub spout, yard hydrant), as well as information on how to get the results to you (email and phone number). Please return this information to Indepth along with the sample. Payment is required at time of sample drop off.
