Well Flow Testing
Water flow testing is done prior to home purchases. If you are considering purchasing a property that has a private well, you should have a flow test done to make sure the water supply can handle your family's water consumption needs. Keep in mind that the average person uses 80-100 gallons of water daily, so you would need to multiply that by the number of people in your household. Usually Lenders require minimum 3 gallons per minute.
Most lenders will require a 2+ hour well flow test and water quality test on home purchases with a private well. Well water quality testing, tests for Ecoli, Total Coliform, Arsenic, and Nitrates are done via a local lab.
