What makes step 4 different from every other water test
Other companies hand you a lab report and say good luck. We are a water treatment company that has solved well and city water problems for over 30 years. The testing is done by an independent, third-party certified lab so the data is unbiased. Then we tell you exactly how to fix what the lab found, and we have the equipment and expertise to back it up.
What This Test Measures
1
Glyphosate.
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup and the most widely applied herbicide in America, used on farm fields, orchards, rights-of-way, and lawns. It reaches wells through runoff and infiltration near treated land, and it is colorless and tasteless, so the only way to know whether it is in your water is a targeted lab test. It is not part of any standard water panel.
The health picture is genuinely contested: the World Health Organization's cancer research agency (IARC) classifies glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans, while the EPA's position is that it is not likely to be carcinogenic at expected exposure levels. We are not going to settle that debate for you. What we can do is get you a certified-lab number by EPA Method 547, measured against the EPA's enforceable drinking-water limit of 0.7 mg/L, so your decision is based on data instead of headlines.
Method: EPA 547 (HPLC with post-column derivatization and fluorescence detection)
Reference: EPA enforceable limit (MCL): 0.7 mg/L. The lab's reporting level sits well below that, so a meaningful detection will not be missed.
What fixes it: Whole House Carbon Filters
Activated carbon is the standard whole-house treatment for glyphosate and other herbicides; reverse osmosis adds point-of-use protection at the kitchen tap.
When your independent lab report comes back, it goes to Aidan, one of our owners and a water treatment specialist with over 30 years of hands-on experience. Because the testing is done by a third-party lab, the data is impartial. He reads your numbers, knows what matters for glyphosate (roundup), and gives you a clear recommendation for your situation.
You Get a Clear, Specific Recommendation
→ Whether this contaminant needs treatment, and how urgently
→ The exact equipment and size for your home, if any is needed
→ The correct installation order alongside anything else you treat
→ Estimated cost and what maintenance to expect
If Your Water Tests Clean, We Tell You That
We would rather earn your trust by being honest than sell you equipment you do not need. If your result comes back within safe limits, Aidan will tell you exactly that. No upselling, no fear tactics.
"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." ★★★★★
Amber G., Verified Buyer
"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
"Water treatment is confusing. There's so much hype out there. I sent my test results to Mid Atlantic Water and Aidan cut through all the noise. Told me exactly what I needed, no more, no less. Been running the system for months now and the water is perfect." ★★★★★

Roundup on the Fields Around You? Get Your Glyphosate Number.
Glyphosate measured at an independent certified lab by EPA 547, plus a personal treatment recommendation from a 30-year well water expert.
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is the most widely used herbicide in the United States. It reaches private wells through runoff and infiltration near farm fields, orchards, and treated ground, and it is colorless and tasteless, so no symptom will ever tip you off. It is not part of any standard water panel; the only way to know is to test for it specifically.
This test measures glyphosate by EPA Method 547 at an independent, NELAC/ELAP-accredited lab, with a reporting level well below the EPA's enforceable 0.7 mg/L limit. The health science is contested (IARC says probably carcinogenic, the EPA disagrees), and we will not settle that debate for you. We will get you a certified number so you can decide from data instead of headlines.
Aidan reviews your result personally. If treatment is warranted, he recommends whole-house activated carbon, often with reverse osmosis at the kitchen tap. If it comes back non-detect, he tells you that too: no treatment, just peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, the most widely used herbicide in the United States. Roundup is the brand name; glyphosate is what the lab actually measures. This test reports your glyphosate concentration by EPA Method 547 at a certified lab, which covers Roundup and every other glyphosate-based product used near your water source.
Probably not, and we would rather tell you that than sell you a kit. Glyphosate breaks down rapidly in chlorinated water (this is documented in EPA Method 547 itself), so it rarely persists in municipal tap water. This test matters most for private wells and unchlorinated sources near farmland or treated ground. If you are on city water and still want the check, it will work, but a well owner near agriculture gets far more value from it.
Honestly, the science is contested. IARC (the WHO's cancer agency) classifies glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans, while the EPA maintains it is not likely to be carcinogenic at expected exposure levels, and litigation around Roundup has kept the question in the headlines. We will not pretend to settle that for you. What a lab test gives you is your actual number against the EPA's enforceable 0.7 mg/L limit, so whatever standard you personally choose, you are deciding from data.
No, and we want to be upfront about that. This is a targeted single-analyte test for glyphosate only. AMPA (glyphosate's main breakdown product) is not available as a drinking-water add-on from the lab network. If your concern is broader agricultural chemicals rather than Roundup specifically, the 140-compound Herbicide & Pesticide Water Test is the better fit, and you can call Aidan to talk through which one matches your situation.
Aidan reviews your glyphosate level and, if treatment is warranted, recommends whole-house activated carbon sized to your home, often with point-of-use reverse osmosis at the kitchen tap. If your result comes back non-detect, which is common, he will tell you exactly that: no treatment needed, and you have real peace of mind instead of a lingering question.
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: EPA 547 (HPLC with post-column derivatization and fluorescence detection). The difference between a strip and a certified lab is the difference between guessing and knowing.
