How It Works
-
Step 1 - Select and purchase your test
We mail you a testing kit complete with laboratory testing bottles and step by instruction of how to collect your sample.
-
Step 2 - Collect a water sample
Fill the supplied laboratory testing bottles with a sample of your drinking water. Place the bottles in the supplied postage parcel complete with pre-paid express shipping return label and place in post.
-
Step 3 - Laboratory Testing
Your water sample will be sent to a NATA accredited Australian laboratory for testing. Our laboratory partners typically complete the analysis within 5 business days.
-
Step 4 - Receive your results
Your detailed Water Quality Analysis Report is delivered as a digital PDF — plain-English results benchmarked against Australian drinking water guidelines, with the original NATA-accredited Certificate of Analysis included.

What We Analyse: A Deeper Look
-
Sources: Industrial compounds entering catchments via historical firefighting foams and industrial runoff.
Health Perspective: Monitored for potential bioaccumulation. Research links long-term exposure to altered thyroid and sex hormone levels, impacted kidney function, and changes in blood cholesterol.
-
Sources: Heavy metals typically enter the water supply via three main pathways: the corrosion of household pipes, degradation of roof flashings, or natural geological leaching into groundwater aquifers.
Health Perspective: Many of these elements act as systemic toxins when ingested at elevated levels. While some metals are essential to the body in trace amounts, cumulative exposure is a known risk factor for adverse neurological development, impaired kidney filtration, and long-term cardiovascular health.
-
Sources: Microscopic particles resulting from environmental plastic breakdown or synthetic materials used in modern water distribution and storage.
Health Perspective: Research focuses on the ability of particles to cross biological barriers, potentially triggering systemic inflammation or acting as a carrier for other chemical pollutants.
-
Sources: Formed when disinfectants (essential for biological safety) react with naturally occurring organic matter in town, tank, or bore water.
Health Perspective: While necessary for sanitization, chronic exposure to high concentrations of by-products is monitored for links to long-term cellular health and bladder/colorectal wellness.
-
Sources: Chemical leaching from solvent cements, adhesives, and synthetic piping materials (such as PVC and PEX) commonly used in modern plumbing and new builds.
Health Perspective: Monitored for their potential impact on the central nervous system and hormonal (endocrine) balance. Certain compounds, such as Formaldehyde, are classified as carcinogenic following long-term, cumulative exposure.
-
Sources: Bacterial contamination typically originates from septic system failure, agricultural runoff containing livestock waste, or wildlife (such as birds and possums) accessing rainwater catchment areas. Elevated Nitrogen levels (Nitrate/Nitrite) generally stem from intensive fertilizer use leaching into groundwater or effluent seepage from nearby wastewater systems.
Health Perspective: E. coli is a definitive indicator of recent fecal contamination; ingestion poses a high risk of severe gastrointestinal distress and indicates the likely presence of viruses or protozoa. High Nitrate levels are a critical concern for infants, as they can inhibit the blood's ability to carry oxygen (Methemoglobinemia or "Blue Baby Syndrome") and may disrupt thyroid function in adults.
-
Sources: These parameters reflect the "geological fingerprint" of your water. They originate from the natural weathering of bedrock, limestone aquifers (Calcium and Magnesium), and occasionally seawater intrusion or agricultural drainage (Sodium and Chloride).
Health & Aesthetic Perspective: While rarely toxic, these factors define the usability of your water. High Hardness causes scale buildup that destroys hot water systems and appliances, while low hardness can make water corrosive. Salinity (TDS) dictates palatability; high levels taste salty, corrode plumbing, and may be unsuitable for those on low-sodium diets. pH is critical for infrastructure—acidic water aggressively strips copper and lead from pipes, while alkaline water causes scaling.
-
Sources: These contaminants typically enter water supplies from external environmental activity. Pesticides and Herbicides often result from agricultural spray drift into rainwater tanks or leaching through soil into bore water aquifers. Industrial Solvents are frequently linked to the historical or current migration of chemicals from nearby commercial activities, workshops, or clandestine disposal sites into the groundwater.
Health Perspective: These synthetic organic compounds are monitored due to their high persistence in the environment and their potential for bioaccumulation in human tissue. Exposure is linked to the disruption of the nervous system, impaired liver and kidney function, and potential reproductive health risks. Many compounds in this screen are investigated for their long-term carcinogenic potential even at low concentrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
It is incredibly simple. When your kit arrives, it includes step-by-step instructions. You simply fill the provided bottles from your tap, tank, or bore, write the date on the included form, and place everything into the pre-paid express return mailer. Drop it at any Australia Post Express Post collection point, and you are done.
-
Yes. The price you see covers absolutely everything: the physical sample kit, delivery to your door, pre-paid express return shipping to our NATA-accredited partner laboratory, and all professional scientific analysis fees. There are zero hidden costs.
-
Absolutely. Standard commercial lab results are full of confusing jargon. We don't just send you a spreadsheet; we provide a translated, easy-to-read environmental engineering report. We compare your specific water data directly against the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG), so you know exactly where your water quality sits.
