Recommended by SimpleLab™ for high-precision testing for the presence or absence of total coliform and E. coli bacteria in drinking water. These two common potentially harmful bacteria indicators are of particular concern for people served by private wells or springs–as nearby contamination can enter into the ground water supply. Presence/absence testing for coliform and E. coli continues to be industry standard practice, as ANY coliform and/or E. coli detection is considered to be a problem and should be addressed–regardless of the colony count. 

This Tap Score water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed analysis for the presence or absence of total coliform and E. coli bacteria by SM 9223B (or equivalent). 

Note: All  of the lab testing packages in the  Tap Score Well Water Collection include an in-lab screen for total coliform and E. coli bacteria.
