Instructions: 1. The sample should preferably be taken from the last point in the system, which is usually the kitchen tap. Alternatively it can be taken directly from the source or a holding tank if this is more appropriate. 2. Select clean containers strong enough to survive post, carrier and handling. Rinse out once with sample water and then fill. We require 2.5L of the sample; multiple bottles are quite acceptable. 3. Label the containers with your name and address and the type of analysis required. 4. Click here to Download an order form. 5.
