as quoted by the MOE what well sampling is

Sampling your water for accurate results

1.

Get a proper water sample bottle
from the public health laboratory or
your local public health unit, or one of
the designated pickup stations in your
area. Only water collected directly into
these bottles will be accepted.

2.

Plan to sample your well water when
you’re sure you can deliver it to the
public health unit or other designated
location within 24 hours. Your water
sample should not be left sitting for a
long period of time as this can lead to
inaccurate results.

3.

Remove any aerator, screen or other
attachments from your faucet. Don’t
take a sample from an outside faucet or
the garden hose. Take a sample from an
inside tap with no aerator, such as the
bathtub.

4.

Disinfect the end of the faucet spout
with an alcohol swab or dilute bleach
solution (1 part household bleach to
10 parts water) before running water to
remove debris or bacteria. Disinfecting
the tap with a flame is not recommended
because this can damage the faucet.

5.

Turn on cold water and let it run for
3 to 4 minutes to remove standing water
from your plumbing system.

6.

Remove the sample bottle lid:

•

don’t touch the inside of the lid

•

don’t put the lid down

•

don’t rinse out the bottle.

7.

Fill the bottle to the level that is
marked, as described in the enclosed
instructions, and close the lid firmly.

8.

Keep the sample cool (but not frozen)
until it’s returned to the drop-off location.
Again, deliver the sample within 24 hours
or it may not be processed. Remember
that proper handling will help to make
sure that your test results are accurate!
Don’t store samples in warm places such

as your car trunk.

Certified well samplers do not work on or inspect wells.

I took Joe's course, twice. Once by CD...once in person. I am a certified well sampler. I am qualified to state, for the record, that certified well samplers do not work on or inspect wells.

[James H. Bushart]

My disregard for the direction in which Gromicko Brothers Enterprises, Inc. is taking what used to be a home inspection association has nothing at all to do with those things that NACHI members have contributed to the profession...such as those provided by Joe Farsetta.

I am more qualified to state what the content and the context is of the CD version and the live, in-class version of the Certified Well Sampler courses are....than someone who has never taken either.
