For water quality testing, I have found this one that tests for almost everything the standard asks for, with only a couple thresholds being a little different than for the WELL v2 Standard listed in W02. Does anyone know of any other tests that have passed certification/are being used in WELL projects, or if this one might make the cut?

Thanks!

Hi Sara, It depends on how you are using the water test results. If for a WELL project, the performance verification team will handle collecting the samples and submitting them to a lab. On some of my projects, I have done preliminary water testing at other fixtures in the building, in the case of a tenant fit-out project, or at a neighboring building, for a new construction project. These should get close enough to serve as a proxy - additional investigation may be necessary if one of the parameters fails. This way, any necessary treatment systems can be accounted for in the design process. Drinking Water Specialists have a test I have used in the past. https://drinkingwaterspecialists.com/wellstandard-water-test/ Get the actual results, not just them telling you whether you passed or not. More information can be found in the performance verification guidebook here: https://a.storyblok.com/f/52232/x/a26b11b9c4/well-performance-verification-guidebook-with-q1-2020-addenda.pdf John M
