Do we guarantee our tests?
We have been in the water treatment business over 25 years and throughout this time have been involved in hundreds of private water treatment projects ranging from small domestic dwellings up to large clients such as Meadowhall, Pepsi and Unilever. Typically we know what to expect on most reports from the different areas of the UK, and should something seem amiss we will always investigate further.
Are there any catches?
No catches. In addition to your test results you will be given a FREE review of the test with our engineer along with a recommendation of what you can do to fix it. This is included with your email and whilst we would hope you'd consider us for any treatment options (if any are necessary), we certainly do not chase customers, send out pushy salemen or cold-call.
Can I cancel my test?
You may cancel your test up until it reaches the laboratory at which point the costs incurred do not make it feasible. If you cancel your test at any stage prior to receipt at the lab you will be liable just for the charges incurred up to that point which will consist of one or two courier deliveries and the cost of the bottles supplied - In most cases this is under £20.
