Testing your well is like a detective mystery. You are Sherlock Holmes, and your water glass is the crime scene. What’s hiding in there? Ancient minerals? Runoff from a farm? A rogue e.coli colony?
It’s a tiny treasure hunt. You pour a sample into a sterile bag (sounds dramatic, right?). You wait two weeks. Then, BAM—you get secret knowledge about what’s flowing beneath your feet.
Bizarre bonus: Some wells have methane gas. Seriously. If your water fizzes like a soda straight from the tap, you might have methane. Don’t light a match near the tap. That’s a real thing. Test for it!
