But CSY Man, are you saying that if I pull the samples and submit them to a lab myself, the cost is only about $20/analysis?
Yup, I use a lab here in West Palm Beach that charges only $18.00 t0 $20.00 including shipping and the sample-container.

Ya get a detailed print-out, just like the surveyor's sample.
The difference is that the surveyor gets a pretty good cut of the final bill.

(same company, same lab, same everything)

Will look for the details and post here:
Name/number of lab.

Full analyses can be as high as $500. You have to specify!!
Must be for nuclear submarines...?

Tried to get my tank water analysed last year and was quoted as much as $500.00.
The labs were dealing with city water and the local Governments..Price goes up then I guess.

Finally got their chief chemist on the phone, he was also a boat owner and told me why I did not need the expensive test of my water...Posted the whole story on this board a while ago.
