When you rely on a private well, choosing the right water tests can feel overwhelming. There are dozens of possible contaminants, DIY vs. in-lab options, and conflicting recommendations about what to test and how often.
The Safe Home Well Water Bundle was created to simplify that process. It includes all of the core tests most experts recommend for private wells:
- 1× In-Lab Ultimate Test Kit (200 parameters)
- 1× In-Lab Glyphosate Test Kit
- 4× DIY Bacteria Test Kits (for quarterly testing)
This single bundle gives well owners a complete baseline test and the ability to monitor their water throughout the year.
What’s Included and Why It Matters
In-Lab Ultimate Test Kit (200 Parameters)
This kit provides a full overview of your well’s water quality, covering contaminants commonly found in groundwater and private wells.
It tests for:
- Heavy metals: Lead, arsenic, chromium, hexavalent chromium
- General water chemistry: pH, hardness, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, TDS
- Pesticides and herbicides
- VOCs and industrial chemicals: Benzene, toluene, xylene
- Physical and inorganic parameters
This is ideal for establishing a baseline of your well’s condition and identifying issues caused by natural geology, plumbing corrosion, agricultural runoff, or industrial activity.
In-Lab Glyphosate Test Kit
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp, is one of the most widely used herbicides. It can enter groundwater, especially in rural or agricultural areas where many private wells are located.
Testing separately for glyphosate ensures this high-priority contaminant isn’t overlooked.
DIY Bacteria Tests (4 Tests Included)
Bacteria is the most common issue in private wells and should be monitored quarterly. These tests detect:
- Coliform bacteria
- Signs of well casing damage
- Surface water infiltration
- Changes caused by flooding, heavy rainfall, or seasonal shifts
Including four tests makes ongoing monitoring simple and affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a professional to collect my sample?
No. All kits include step-by-step instructions and everything you need to collect and ship your samples properly.
What should I do if my bacteria test is positive?
A positive coliform bacteria test usually means outside water is entering the well. Shock chlorination is typically recommended, followed by a retest.
Are there more affordable options?
Yes. The Budget Well Water Test Kit includes DIY tests for bacteria, glyphosate, lead, and arsenic — all at a lower price of $74.95.
