Clear water is not clean water. Test it.
Bacteria, parasites, metals and salts are invisible. A SANS 241 analysis at an accredited laboratory shows exactly what is in your borehole, tank or tap water, and our report tells you what, if anything, to do about it. We take the sample ourselves, across the same area Andy Plumbers serves: a sample taken wrong is the commonest reason a test lies.
