CLEAN WATER STORE Water Tes t Kit Instructions
Sample Instructions
Get two empty bottles: (4 to 12 oz) with screw cap lids or use the ones we
have sent you. Bottles from bottled water work great. One bottle is for a
‘raw’ sample and the other is for a ‘treated’ sample.
For the raw water sample, write the letter “R” with a Sharpie on the bottle.
The raw sample should be taken as close as you can to the well source or any
other source (city system, lake etc.) from which you get your water and before
any treatment systems, such as from an outside hose bib.
Let the water run fast for two to three minutes, then slow for 5 minutes. Run
longer for wells over 150’ deep. Rinse the bottle with the water to be tested
once or twice and then fill the bottle to top so there is no air bubble.
Do the same to fill the second sample bottle with treated water. Write “T” for
treated on the bottle. The treated sample should be from inside the house,
after the last piece of filter equipment or softener (if you have a treatment
system).
After screwing the cap on securely, you must tape the cap down where the
bottle and cap meet and then place samples in a plastic bag to avoid leaking
during shipping.
Pack sample bottles in a box along with the completed Water Test Form and
padding.
