An extensive home test of domestic water is a comprehensive home test of the usefulness of domestic and drinking water that measures the most typical factors affecting the quality of the well and tap water. The test result will be clear in a few minutes. It is easy and safe to take the test. The test can be done by yourself and does not need to be sent to the laboratory.
When water quality should be examined:
- Well water should be examined every 3 years or if the water has not been used for a long time
- if water is suspected of causing health symptoms
- if the colour, taste or smell of the water has changed
- if a child is born into the family
- in the case of the purchase and sale of real estate
