"I had my water tested and sent Aidan the results. Within hours he told me exactly what I needed: an iron filter and a neutralizer. After watching his YouTube videos I already trusted him. The recommendation was spot on and the system works perfectly." ★★★★★

"I did two water tests at home and got inconsistent results. Called Aidan and he walked me through everything. Explained what the numbers meant, which ones mattered, and put together the right package for my house. No pressure, just honest advice." ★★★★★
Jerry S., Verified Buyer

The Safety Test Every Private Well Needs Every Year.
Total coliform and E. coli analyzed at an independent certified lab, plus a personal disinfection recommendation from a 30-year well water expert.
No one tests or disinfects your private well but you. Total coliform bacteria signal that surface water, soil, or septic influence has found a way in; E. coli signals fecal contamination and a genuine health risk. Both are invisible, tasteless, and odorless, so there is no way to know without a lab test.
This test gives you a clear present/absent result for total coliform and E. coli from an independent, NELAC/ELAP-accredited lab. Health agencies recommend it for every private well at least once a year, and right away after flooding, well work, or any change in taste, color, or smell.
Aidan reviews your result personally. If bacteria are absent, you get documented peace of mind. If they are present, he explains the likely entry point, the shock-chlorination steps, and whether whole-house UV disinfection is the right permanent protection for your well and flow rate. Test first, then protect your family the right way.

Frequently Asked Questions
At minimum once a year, because well conditions change with the seasons, the water table, and nearby land use. Test immediately after any flooding, well or pump repair, a new well, or any change in how the water tastes, looks, or smells. Bacteria contamination is invisible, so an annual lab test is the only reliable safeguard.
Total coliform present means a pathway exists for surface contamination to reach your well, often a cracked casing, a bad well cap, or septic influence. E. coli present means fecal contamination and that the water is unsafe to drink as-is. The response is usually well shock-chlorination to address the immediate problem, fixing the entry point, and installing UV disinfection for continuous protection. Aidan walks you through the exact steps based on your result.
Yes. UV is excellent continuous protection, but you still verify the source and confirm the system is doing its job. Annual bacteria testing remains the standard of care even with UV installed, and it is how you catch a failing bulb or a new contamination pathway early.
If bacteria are absent, you have documented proof your well is safe and Aidan will tell you no disinfection is needed. If they are present, he explains the likely cause, the shock-chlorination steps, and whether UV is the right permanent fix for your situation and flow rate.
Absolutely. Call or text Aidan at 800-460-5810. He is available 7 days a week. If you are not sure whether you need this test, he can help you figure that out in a few minutes. No sales pitch, just straight answers. You can also email support@midatlanticwater.net.

The Cost of Guessing Wrong
A focused lab test vs thousands in wrong equipment.
What happens when you skip the test
Without a lab number, you are guessing. We have seen it hundreds of times: a homeowner buys the wrong system, or the wrong size, because staining or smell or scale looked a certain way. Wrong equipment means wasted money, an unsolved problem, and an eventual second purchase.
A focused lab test tells you exactly what is in your water so you buy the right equipment the first time. It is not a cost. It is insurance against a much larger mistake.

Why DIY Test Strips Can't Compare
+
DIY test strips test a handful of parameters with color-changing pads you match against a chart. They cannot detect contaminants at the low levels that matter for health, and they miss critical analytes entirely.
Our test uses the same certified-lab method state and federal drinking-water programs use: Total coliform and E. coli, present/absent (SimpleLab certified lab network). The difference between a strip and a certified lab is the difference between guessing and knowing.
