Water testing

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 collect samples in person across the same area Andy Plumbers serves, and courier a kit anywhere else in South Africa.
