Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend where to have my well water test done for home brewing purposes?


Cheers,

we had evolution water do ours when we moved in, http://www.evowater.ca/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It's a bit pricey around $150 but they reported everything.

Capital health environmental services laboratory also does it. http://www.cdha.nshealth.ca/environment ... laboratory" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I think its cheaper but you have to pickup the containers, take the sample and drop them off yourself.

We just moved into a new place last April and had to have the well water tested, did it thru Capital Health. Its easy and quick,especially if you live near one of the drop off locations, and you can customize your analysis to only know the things you want. Think we paid ~150 for ours and got just about everything, hardness and pH included. Just make sure to leave the bit of white powder in the collection jar, don't dump it out.
