The water analysis performed by our partner laboratory is designed to be comprehensive, simple, and accurate.

The base package covers logistics costs (shipping the sampling kit to you and back) and the processing costs for a water analysis. Predefined packages and optional individual tests are added to this. Please see the details below.

• Chemistry package 4 : pH, Nitrates, Nitrites, Chlorine, Hardness, Iron, Manganese, Organic matter

Additional analysis options:

Although the packages are designed to be affordable and meet routine water analysis needs, you may simply need one or more specific tests. We therefore invite you to order this analysis and add one or more of the laboratory tests of your choice. You cannot order any of the tests below without ordering the base analysis with one of the packages above.(either a bacteriological analysis or a physicochemical analysis)

Some tests are available for use with the IDIP photometer or as standalone tests, so please make sure you select the correct product for your cart. We are here to help with any questions.

How does my water test work?

After you place your order on our website,

1. Within 48h/72h, you receive a sampling kit containing 2  bottles to fill, an instruction sheet, a freezable ice pack, 1 insulated pouch, and a Chronopost return label.

  
2.48h before collecting your samples, place the ice pack in the freezer.

3. Collect your water samples following the laboratory's recommendations. Then place the bottles and the frozen ice pack in the insulated pouch and close it. 

4. Place this insulated pouch in the Chronopost shipping pouch and attach the Chronopost return label to it.

5. Take the package to your nearest Chronopost drop-off point.

Important : to ensure the most accurate analysis results possible, the analysis must be performed as soon as possible. The provided Chronopost label allows delivery to the laboratory the day after drop-off, before 1 p.m. Ideally, collect your samples in the afternoon and drop off the package at a Chronopost location in the late afternoon. Also, make sure you do not drop it off on a Friday or the day before a public holiday. This would delay delivery of the package to the laboratory and therefore the analysis.

5. After receiving your samples, the RESALAB laboratory performs the water analysis the same day.

6. We send you the analysis results as soon as possible and recommend solutions suited to your water needs.
