Water Quality & Well Water Testing in South Florida
The water coming into your home or building can carry contaminants you can’t see, smell, or taste, such as bacteria, lead, nitrates, and other pollutants that affect health and safety. Whether you’re on municipal water or a private well, professional water quality testing tells you exactly what’s in it. AERIS provides independent, lab-backed water testing across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach.

What Is Water Quality Testing?
Water quality testing is the laboratory analysis of a water sample to identify contaminants and measure them against safe-level standards. A professional collects samples following proper protocols and submits them to an accredited lab, which screens for the contaminants relevant to your situation, including bacteria, heavy metals, nitrates, pH, hardness, and more.
The result is a clear report telling you whether your water is safe and, if not, what’s wrong and what to do about it.
When Do You Need Water Testing?
You likely need water quality testing if:
- You rely on a private well: wells aren’t regulated like municipal supplies, so testing is on you.
- You notice a change in taste, smell, color, or staining.
- You’re buying or selling a property with a well or older plumbing.
- You’re concerned about lead from older pipes or fixtures.
- You’ve had flooding, storm damage, or nearby construction that could affect your supply.
- You manage a commercial property, rental, or facility with a duty to provide safe water.
On a private well? The EPA recommends testing well water at least annually for bacteria and nitrates. AERIS makes it simple with independent, lab-backed results.

How often should I test my well water?
The EPA recommends testing private well water at least once a year for bacteria and nitrates, and more often if you notice changes or have specific concerns.
How much does water quality testing cost?
It depends on which contaminants you test for. A basic bacteria/nitrate panel costs less than a comprehensive screen. Call (954) 906-8046 for a no-obligation estimate.
Is municipal (city) water already safe?
Municipal water is regulated and treated, but contaminants can still enter through aging pipes and fixtures inside your property — lead being the classic example. Testing at the tap is the only way to be sure.
How long do results take?
Most analyses are returned within a few business days, depending on the test panel.
What do I do if my water fails?
We explain the results and your options, which may include treatment, filtration, or addressing a specific source. Because we’re independent, our guidance isn’t tied to selling equipment.
