The first is to check your water for 77 different contaminants. Included are a presence/absence check for coliform and E. coli bacteria, 17 heavy metals and chemicals, 5 inorganic chemicals, 5 physical characteristics (such as hardness, ph, total dissolved solids) and 48 organic chemicals. Because bacteria in water samples have a very short life, this type of sample has to shipped overnight in a 'cold pak' container to ensure accurate results.
The second test includes everything from the first test plus an additional check for twenty (20) pesticides, herbicides and PCB's.
