BEWARE!

The Dirty Little Secrets Some On-line Water Testing Companies Don't Want You to Know About

There are other mail-order companies offering what looks like our water testing services, but they outsource the actual testing to labs they do not own. They are, in fact, only marketing companies.

Double-check their list of contaminants to make sure they are not duplicating some contaminate names just to artificially inflate the total number they test for.

Another way to inflate their numbers is to list a compound as one contaminate and then list the compound's components as separate contaminants.

We would never play that numbers game. If a mail-order company plays this game, they think you will only look at their count and not check to see if they are stretching the count. We know you know better.

Check their pricing. Some offer a discount and then recover it by charging for return shipping. eWatertest doesn't play this game either. Our price includes return shipping— we don't try to trick you into thinking you are getting 'discount' and then recover it by charging you for 'return shipping'.

There are even some on-line water testing companies who spend a ton of money on advertising boasting they have over 30,000 to 60,000 customers--guess what, these vendors have only been in business a couple of years, if that, so there's no way they have had that many customers in such a short period of time. And, to top it off, they don't even own the lab that tests their customers' drinking water! Talk about 'truth in advertising'!

Beware of companies who spend a ton of money on advertising, offer a ton of different tests, and yet you can't find out who they are and who actually tests your drinking water. Most of them only give you a toll-free number to call. You have no idea where they are located or who the principals are.

We have built our reputation over the last 30 years by being straight with our customers—you deserve nothing less considering the importance of trusting the company that tests your drinking water.

All of our testing is done in our own lab so we can control the entire testing process. Our lab director is a co-founder and is the one who signs off on your water test results. It pays to ask if you aren't sure.
