This one is for the brave. Bacterial contamination (like E. coli) won’t show up on your regular test strips. You need a special coliform bacteria test. It usually comes with a little vial of liquid that changes color if bacteria are partying in your water. Yes, it’s gross, but it’s also a total lifesaver.
If you ever get a result that looks like neon green slime, stop drinking the water immediately. Boil it or switch to bottled until you can shock your well or flush your pipes. That’s not being paranoid—that’s being a responsible water drinker.
