Cyanobacteria Water Test

Targeted testing for cyanobacteria concentrations in drinking water. Cyanobacteria, also known as "blue-green algae", can enter into drinking water supplies during periods of harmful algal blooms (HABs).

Testing is as easy as one, two, three:

1. We send you the water testing bottles.

2. You fill them using easy instructions and ship them to the lab with the pre-paid label.

3. We email you personalized easy to understand results directly from Dr. Spayd with an explanation of any problems detected.

HABs can occur anytime there is an excessive accumulation of algae growth. Cyanobacteria contamination in drinking water can lead to taste and odor issues, as well as produce toxins (called cyanotoxins) that can cause illness and even death in both humans and animals. This testing package is ideal for people who are located near a harmful algal bloom event and are noticing unpalatable taste and odor issues in their drinking water.

This water test package provides all the required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed, quantified analysis and enumeration (colony count) of cyanobacteria.
