Water testing in an accredited laboratory
Your water sample is in good hands
After you have sent back your sample, one of our accredited water testing laboratories will carry out your chosen test. Our partners for water testing are various groups of laboratories, some of which have more than 23,000 employees working at over 225 locations in 39 countries and using over 150,000 different analytical methods. Your test is truly in good hands.
Take the sample using the simple instructions
Would you like to have your water tested? On the next page you can choose the appropriate water testing kit, for example the Combined Test. After you have ordered, you will receive your own professional test kit. Together with sterile containers and step-by-step instructions, it includes everything you need to send your water sample back, hassle-free.
Water analysis in an accredited water testing laboratory
After your water sample has arrived at the accredited laboratory, specialists carry out a thorough analysis of your drinking water using the latest scientific methods. Mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is one of the methods used to measure chemical and physical parameters as precisely as possible. This guarantees accuracy and ensures even low concentrations of individual contaminants can be traced. For microbiological testing, e.g. for legionella or E.coli, conventional methods using cultures are used.
Your water analysis results - clear and fast
You will receive the results of your test within approx. 7 - 14 days after arrival in the lab. If you prefer, you can receive the analysis results by post, free of charge. You can view the results online and print them out in the comfort of your own home. To keep everything as straightforward as possible, the individual results are clearly laid out. In addition, they are compared with the maximum values stated in the Water Supply Regulations so that you can immediately spot potential threats. Not only do you find out if your water is contaminated, but you find out to what degree. The results are therefore ideal for submitting to landlords or property managers.

UK water quality - supplier's responsibility ends at property boundary
It is therefore essential to monitor your tap water (pipes & fittings)
Drinking water is one of the most strictly regulated substances in the UK, and we should really be able to drink it without hesitation. According to the Water Supply Regulations, the local water companies have a duty to supply "wholesome" tap water and routinely monitor their water. To do this, samples of water leaving the water companies are regularly tested. However, what many consumers don't know is that the supplier's responsibility for the water ends at your house's supply pipes or the house water meter. Except for legionella testing, the landlord is generally not legally required to monitor the water. Harmful substances like lead, copper and nickel mostly sneak into the drinking water through domestic pipes and/or the taps (galvanised fittings). Toxic heavy metals like lead or copper, pathogenic bacteria or dangerous legionella have one thing in common: they can cause serious diseases that may go unnoticed for a long time or be misdiagnosed. The maximum concentrations for these harmful substances are strictly regulated in the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations. Carrying out a water analysis is the only way to clarify the quality of your drinking water. IVARIO gives you the chance to test your tap water quickly, easily and inexpensively.
Legionella testing - have your water samples analysed for legionella
Legionella test kit: monitor your water, protect yourself and your home
Most rental properties are required by law to perform legionella testing. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) stipulate that landlords and property owners are obligated to carry out a legionella risk assessment. However, there are no set regulations for the frequency of testing and the law does not apply to every case, so whether or not this testing actually takes place is not always known. For this reason, many consumers choose to test their own tap water for legionella. To do this, you'll receive a test kit which contains everything you need to take the sample. Your legionella water testing takes place in an accredited testing laboratory. The clear test scores then reveal if there are contaminants in your tap water. Your personal IVARIO experts are at hand if you need further help and assistance. We are happy to disuss the results of your legionella testing with you, free of charge. If you would like to avoid the risk of legionella contamination in your household, we recommend water testing because the health effects can be serious and are mostly not traced back to legionella.

Water test kit for babies and infants - the answer to "which water should I use during pregnancy?
Have the tap water you use for baby formula tested and protect both mother and child
Babies and young children react more sensitively to water which is contaminated with heavy metals. House pipes and taps can have a large impact on the drinking water and harm the health of your baby. It is therefore advisable to have your tap water tested, preferably as early as during pregancy. The IVARIO Baby Test has been specially developed for the needs of babies and young children and is recommended on numerous parenting sites and by renowned experts. You can find out more about tap water for babies and the Baby Test in the IVARIO drinking water blog.
Well water testing - analyse freshwater quickly and easily
Well water analysis for private wells, groundwater and freshwater
IVARIO also provides well water testing for your private well. The Well PLUS test is especially popular with our customers. With our test kit you can test your well water quickly and inexpensively for various substances, e.g. iron, manganese, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, bacteria like E-coli and other germs, as well as measuring eletrical conductivity and other values. Our range of kits cover all the parameters set out by the water regulations. If you own a well and would like to have the water tested, click here for an overview of our well water analysis kits. The Well Water PLUS includes both a chemical and microbiological analysis, examining water for enterococci & coliform bacteria. Many of our customers order the test for glyphosate (pesticide) too. You can take the water sample using the test kit which we post to you. After taking the sample, simply send it off using the return kit provided. Water analysis which includes bacterial or microbiological components are sent in a cool box and collected by a UPS courier. This is to guarantee that when the sample arrives at the laboratory, it is still cold, which is essential for an accurate colony count. Find out more about well water testing. You can read interesting articles about well water in the IVARIO drinking water magazine too.

Successfully performed thousands of times for our customers
There are many ways of testing your own drinking water. If you really want to stay on the safe side, getting your water quality tested in an accredited laboratory (or at an "approved water testing site') is a must. IVARIO provides expert advice as well as a professional lab analysis. Your personal test report clearly and simply conveys your test results using both graphics and text. Unlike most test strips which work using colour scales, each individual result is depicted in more detail as a number. What's more, a bar chart makes it easy to spot straight away if a value falls within the limits set by the Water Supply Regulations or not. Experts recommend laboratory testing because the values provided by the lab analysis can help you to take appropriate measures. Many landlords use the IVARIO water testing kits to routinely test their properties for lead or legionella. It is very important to us that our kits are user-friendly, which you can tell from reading our customer reviews and experiences.
