How does water analysis with self-sampling work?

Water analysis with self-sampling is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to easily determine the quality of water in their own well, borehole, or family home without the need for a sampler's visit.

After placing your order, we will send you a complete sampling kit containing everything you need to collect a water sample. The package includes sample containers, detailed instructions for collection, and guidelines for sending the sample to the laboratory. Most customers can handle the collection without any prior experience.

After the sample is delivered, an accredited laboratory will perform the analysis. We will send you the results electronically along with professional recommendations, so you will know exactly whether the water is safe for health and if any treatment is necessary.

When is self-collection appropriate?

We recommend self-sampling especially in cases when you need to determine the quality of water for personal use.

It most often concerns:

• water analysis from the well,
• water analysis from the well,
• the monitoring of drinking water in a family house,
• preventive water quality control,
• water quality control after the installation of the water treatment plant,
• verification of water quality when there is a change in its taste, color, or odor.

If you need analysis results for occupancy permits, opening a business, or other official purposes, we recommend choosing water analysis with accredited sample collection, where the sample will be taken by a certified sampler.
