Order the kit, collect a sample, mail it back with the prepaid label, and get certified results in about 5 business days. Then a real expert tells you what your numbers mean and exactly what to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Test for This\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNitrate is one of the most common and most serious well water contaminants, especially near agriculture, fertilized land, livestock, or septic systems. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, so it gives no warning. At elevated levels it interferes with the blood's ability to carry oxygen and is specifically dangerous for infants under six months (blue baby syndrome) and during pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test measures nitrate (as nitrogen) against the EPA maximum contaminant level of 10 mg\/L from a certified lab. If you are on a private well anywhere near farmland or septic, it is one of the highest-priority numbers to know, and it cannot be measured reliably any other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Test Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour well is near farmland, fertilized fields, livestock, or septic systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn infant, pregnant person, or someone immunocompromised drinks the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou are on a private well and have never had nitrate measured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want to confirm a treatment system is keeping nitrate in check\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Lab Measures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test reports 1 parameter(s) for nitrate (no3) using EPA 300.0 (ion chromatography), nitrate as nitrogen, at a NELAC\/ELAP-accredited laboratory. EPA maximum contaminant level: 10 mg\/L (as N). No safe level is assumed for infants approaching the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIndependent, Third-Party Lab Testing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not test your water ourselves, and that is the point. Your sample is sent to one of over 200 NELAC\/ELAP-accredited laboratories across the United States, the same independent labs used by state health departments. The result is impartial, then we help you act on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Fixes It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf treatment is needed, the typical solution is \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nitrate-filter-fleck-5600sxt-1-5-cubic-foot-10-54-vortech\"\u003eWhole House Nitrate Filter\u003c\/a\u003e.

After your independent lab results come back, Aidan (one of our owners, 30+ years in water treatment) personally reviews your numbers and tells you whether you need treatment, exactly what equipment and size, the correct installation order, and what maintenance to expect. If your water is within safe limits, he will tell you that too.
