Water Well Testing
Private Water Well Testing and Analysis
Testing your private drilled water well is important to gaining knowledge of your wells' performance. Water testing determines the quality of your domestic drinking water. Well testing will inform you as to the ability of your well to perform. This testing procedure will inform you of and determine a number of factors, such as:
Water Pressure (Pump settings)
Water Flow or GPM (gallons per minute)
Recovery Rate (how fast your well recovers from usage)
Reserve (how much you have to use)
Water pump safety (Do you have a low pressure cutoff switch?)
Knowing how long you can use your well without "running dry" is important. Your water pump may "burn out" if cavitation (no water) occurs.
