| Basic | Checks for the five most commonly encountered water problems in the Sierra Foothills. Recommended for planning of treatment systems. | hardness(calcium & magnesium, iron, manganese, pH, specific conductivity | |
| Real Estate | As more well owners test for arsenic, we find that it is more common than once believed. For agricultural areas (The Valley) we also recommend adding nitrate. | arsenic, hardness(calcium & magnesium), iron, manganese, pH, specific conductivity | |
| Saturation Index | Gives an assessment of your water’s tendency to form lime scale or if it will tend to be corrosive to plumbing | alkalinity, calcium, hardness(calcium & magnesium), pH, specific conductivity | |
| Corrosive Water | Often indicated by blue-green stains (copper on fixtures, corrosive water is one of the common problems in the foothills. | alkalinity, copper, hardness(calcium & magnesium), lead, pH, specific conductivity | |
| Kitchen Sink | All of the above analyses combined into one. Sodium is added because it is a concern to persons with heart disease. | alkalinity, arsenic, hardness(calcium & magnesium), copper, iron, lead, manganese, nitrate, pH, sodium, specific conductivity | |
