Reason for testing:
To determine if a well can supply enough water for the structure (i.e. 150 gallons of water per bathroom) and if the pump can produce the recommended flow rate (i.e. 5 gallons per minute).
Method:
Attach hose and flow meter to the well pressure tank and run the water for the required time, constantly checking flow rate.
Results:
Report describing pump test results and whether or not they meet the NYS Health Department recommended rates.
**Note: Some leading institutions (i.e. FHMA) have set their own recommendations for pump testing. Check with them before ordering testing.
