Are you getting a new home loan or refinancing a property with a well?
We do many FHA/VA/USDA well water test packages each week. Our package includes Lead, Nitrate/Nitrite, and Total Coliform Bacteria. Many people can collect the water samples themselves and bring them to the lab, others need a 3rd party collection, which we offer. If you give us a call we can set that up and collect the water for you.
If the well water is required to be tested, it will take about 4-5 business days to complete once the samples reach our lab.
Give us a call to schedule a sampling event or to answer any questions you may have. 850-562-7751
What are Total Coliform Bacteria?
Total coliforms include bacteria that are found in the soil, in water that has been influenced by surface water, and in human or animal waste.
Bacteria contamination of a well can be caused by a crack in the well casing, water sitting stagnant, wells being flooded or introduced by any well work that has been done. If you suspect that your well is contaminated or your well water sample has tested positive for bacteria, we can walk you through the recommended steps to sanitize your well or send you our instructions by mail or email.
If repeated coliform testing shows that this is a persistent problem with your well, we offer a liquid metering pump system that will give you constant chlorination to kill the bacteria before the well water enters your home. The chlorine can be removed prior to consumption using our simple carbon filter systems.
Call our Lab for testing or results or filtration questions. 850-562-7751.
Hard water is very common in our North Florida area. Many of our test packages include a hardness and calcium test. While hard water is not considered a health hazard, its definitely aesthetically unpleasant. Shower doors and tiles, dishes and coffee makers have to be "de-scaled" all the time! We have THE softener for you. Our Aqua Systems Gen ll water conditioner is the system to have to solve your hard water problems. The control valve includes a 60 day water usage history, one interchangeable part, and a 7 year warranty! Our service team will be happy to installed one for you today!
Give us a call for more information. 850-562-7751
What are Nitrates and Nitrites?
Nitrates and Nitrites can occur naturally or artificially in groundwater. Nitrites are not as common because they are quickly oxidized to nitrates and are not as likely to be in drinking water in dangerous concentrations. Nitrate salts come from fertilizers carried by run-off water that can seep down into wells. Nitrates are also found naturally in sewage, and mineral deposits. High levels of nitrates in drinking water are toxic to humans and animals, especially fetuses and newborns. It can disrupt the oxygen delivering ability of hemoglobin in the bloodstream causing methemoglobinemia or "blue-baby" syndrome.
How can nitrates be removed from your drinking water?
We have a Reverse Osmosis System that is installed directly under the kitchen sink for drinking and cooking to remove the nitrates from the water. We can also provide a whole-house ion resin system that removes nitrates for the entire home.
Give us a call for more information on this contaminant or any others, and to talk about your water treatment options. 850-562-7751

Homes that were built before or during the early 1970's were usually built with galvanized plumbing. These pipes have metals that will begin to leach into the water, especially when it is sitting stagnant. This could give the water supply some heavy metal contamination. We offer a lead test as well as other metals testing at the lab, and we also have a system that will get rid of those harsh metals. Give us a call for more information. 850-562-7751

Hard water is very common in our area. Tallahassee municipal water wells are dug right through the limestone of the aquifer.

Give us a call and ask about our AquaSystems Gen II water conditioner with a 7 year warranty today! 850-562-7751

We have seen some colder nights. Winter weather may cause some water problems for homeowners. Wells are designed to access groundwater that does not freeze, which is why most of your well components are below the freeze line. But the lines exposed to the freezing temperatures should be wrapped with insulation or heat tape to avoid pipe bursts or swelling. Here our some picture examples. If you have questions about your water treatment system in this colder weather, DONT! Our systems are built tough. You can throw a blanket over it to avoid frost on your system but they will be just fine without. If it's a hard freeze then just let the water trickle overnight.
Give us a call if you have any other questions.

Buying a new home is a big deal. If the home has a well for the water supply it most likely will need to be tested prior to closing. We are here to help with any water testing requirements and questions. We have been providing this service for almost 30 years. We like providing answers for clients who have two major questions regarding home purchases with wells:
1. What contaminants are required to be tested?
2. Do the water samples need to be collected by a third party?
We can collect and test for the required contaminants and we can test for more than those. I've attached a residential water test-package list. Our clients typically choose the FHA/VA package, but for new well owners we suggest the Health Survey. You then will get the usually required contaminants tested as well as a number of other common water quality issues.
Give us a call for collection information and pricing and to answer any other questions you may have. 850-562-7751

What are Volatile Organic Compounds?
We have a residential package that tests for VOC's which are chemical substances that evaporate at room temperature and are commonly found in household products and building materials such as gasoline, solvents, cleaners, paints, and pesticides. This class of chemicals is sometimes found in drinking water due to human activity such as a spill or improper disposal.
If you have a well and live close to a landfill or an old gas station, this is when we would suggest this package.
If you aren't sure, give us a call, we are the water testing experts in this area.

Is sulfur in water safe?
The answer depends on the amount of sulfur in the water. Hydrogen Sulfide gas occurs naturally and can come from different sources under the ground, such as rotting plant material or bacteria. With sulfur water, there could be a strong "rotten-egg" odor, which is not pleasing to cook with, drink or bathe in. Ackuritlabs & Aqua Systems has a Sulfur Eradicator that will remove that smell completely.
Give us a call today to talk about treatment options. Also bring a water sample by for a filter survey.
