Local clients may drop their water sample off or mail it to us at 1069 Elk Meadow Lane Deary, ID 83823.  Be sure to mark the bottle. . .Attention: Michael and I'll get right to the testing immediately  Call (208) 669-0908 or email michaelr@turbonet.com to arrange a water analysis consultation appointment. 

Note: Services for water testing have been temporarily suspended, but feel free to get all the good information from the other pages on our site.

On site free water analysis is available to locations within one hour of Moscow, Idaho.  If your location is beyond that distance, a small travel fee to defray the ever increasing cost of fuel may apply, or you may simply mail your water sample to us.   

Out of Service Area Clients: Due to the large number of “free” water analysis requests from clients residing beyond our service area, we are now forced to charge for basic water analysis services in order to cover expenses. The fee for basic water analysis – water testing is $35.00.  **A comprehensive analysis report is included. 

We analyze for pH, hardness minerals, iron, free chlorine, nitrate contamination, and total dissolved solids.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOME SAMPLING:

1. Allow water to run for a minute or two.

2. Collect the sample. Fill completely container completely and cap immediately. The idea is to expose the sample to as little air as possible. Avoid contact with your fingers.

3. Collection bottle should be glass or polycarbonate with plastic screw on cap. Sample volume should be 8 oz. or more. A small polycarbonate drinking water bottle from the grocery store works well, and is better for mailing.

4. We’ll need your contact information: name, address, telephone number. Knowing the approximate age of your home, the number of full-time residents, whether your water source is a private well, city/community well, or other water source is helpful, as well. Please tell us if you have any specific complaints about odor, taste, color, allergies, dry skin, poor laundry and dishwasher performance, etc. Answers to these inquiries, together with your water analysis will help us with recommendations for you.

Note: If mailing your water sample, send it early in the week.
