Testing a well's water is essential for determining if the liquid is safe to consume. It needs to be done with frequency so that you are always knowledgeable about the water you are receiving.


Determining Safety

A big thing aquifer testing identifies is whether bacteria or other foreign materials are present within the water. Water may look safe to consume to the naked eye, but there could be viruses or parasites lurking within it. Only an aquifer test performed by a professional can tell if well water is safe to drink, and this testing needs to be done at least once annually.

Locating Other Problems

Changes can occur within a well over time. Even if the intended function of your well is not for human consumption, it is still important to figure out if it is still viable for what it is used for. Whether it is for irrigation or chemical spraying, you should get regular testing done to track changes and figure out if the system is still going to be viable for years to come.

Only a professional will know how to properly conduct an aquifer test and can figure out what the results mean. Contact Ortman Drilling at  765-459-4125  to find experts who can evaluate your well's water quality for you.
