Iron is a common, naturally occurring metal in well water that causes red, orange, or brown staining on laundry, sinks, and tubs, and imparts a metallic taste.
We measure total dissolved and suspended iron concentrations.
The EPA sets a Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (SMCL) of 0.3 mg/L for iron based on aesthetic issues (staining and taste), not health hazards.
When you pick up your pre-sterilized collection bottles from our lab drop-off window, we will provide a clear, step-by-step instruction sheet for gathering your water sample. All you need to know right now is that samples must be kept chilled on wet ice or ice packs and delivered back to our lab window within 24 hours of collection to ensure accurate results.
