Houses & Private Wells

Safe drinking water is essential for every household. LITOLAB provides accredited testing of drinking water, well water and pool water for private houses, cottages and holiday properties.

What We Offer

Comprehensive testing for private wells and household water:

  • Accredited chemical and microbiological analyses

  • Testing required for building approval

  • Regular monitoring of well quality for long-term use

  • Pool and spa water testing for home wellness areas

  • Consultation on water safety, contamination risks and treatment options

Our team helps you understand your results and, if needed, recommends the next steps — from well cleaning and disinfection to water treatment solutions.

What We Test

We analyse the most important parameters for household water safety, including:

Drinking & Well Water

  • Basic physico-chemical indicators (pH, conductivity, turbidity, colour, odour)
  • Nitrates, nitrites, ammonium — especially important for infants and children

  • Metals and elements (iron, manganese, calcium, magnesium, hardness, etc.)

  • Organic pollution indicators (COD, TOC/DOC where relevant)

  • Microbiological indicators (coliform bacteria, Escherichia coli, enterococci)

Water for Building Approval

  • Parameters required by building authorities or public health offices

  • Fully accredited report suitable for official documentation

Pool & Spa Water

  • Basic chemical balance (pH, free/combined chlorine, turbidity)
  • Microbiological checks where necessary
  • Recommendations for safe operation and disinfection

Typical Situations When You Contact Us

Clients reach out to us when:

A new well or house requires water testing for building approval.

We perform the required analysis and issue an accredited report.

They want to confirm that household well water is safe for family use.

We test nitrates, microbiology and essential chemical indicators.

The water has visible or sensory issues:

Turbidity, smell, rust, brown or cloudy colour, limescale, metallic taste.

They have small children or infants and want extra safety assurance.

We focus on parameters critical for young children — especially nitrates and microbiological indicators — and provide clear recommendations for safe household use.

A pool or spa at home needs regular quality checks.

We analyse key chemical and microbiological parameters of pool and spa water and advise on maintaining safe and hygienically compliant conditions.
