With all the pesticides that are being used today, your drinking water could be contaminated if you live in a rural area. Even if you do not have a farm right outside your back door, you may want to have your water tested through a water testing lab. Pesticides are just one of the many things that you could find in your drinking water. Do not forget about the fertilizers and other chemicals that farmers use.
It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the water that you use for cooking and cleaning. You can send a sample of your drinking water to the water testing lab to have it evaluated for any chemicals that may be in it. The process is very simple and affordable. You can even select which chemicals you would like your water tested for, including but not limited to pesticides and hard water testing.
