Where to get well water tested for minerals and bacteria.

[Longwood50]

I am building a new home and have a well.  The water is cloudy so I know I need a filter for that.  Before investing in a filtration system, I would like to have the water tested.  I have run into the cheap labs that for 500 baht do virtually nothing and those that start at 7,000 baht for a routine battery of tests. 

I have tried Google  Yes many times.  It is worthless in Thailand trying to find.

Does someone have the name of a lab that they know charges a reasonable fee to test for the following:

I am located in Pattaya but can mail anyplace. 

 

 pH, Turbidity, Color, Total Iron, Manganese,

Copper, Zinc, Sulfate, Chloride, Fluoride, Nitrate,

Total Hardness, Non Carbonate Hardness, <removed>, Arsenic,

Cyanide, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Selenium,

Standard Plate Count, Coliform Bacteria, E.Coli

Where in Thailand are you located?

 

Your local university may well have testing facilities, or if not, may be able to point you in the direction of a reputable lab.

Asking a Thai for a recommendation is like trying to nail Jello to a wall.

I think B7000 may be around about the correct charge.

Take 3 large coke bottles of water to you nearest uni (as suggested).
