The Metals & Minerals Panel is a broad, 35-parameter scan of the metals and minerals dissolved in your well water. It covers the elements that drive everyday water-quality problems - iron and manganese that stain fixtures and laundry, hardness minerals that scale pipes and appliances, sodium, and a range of trace metals - in a single, cost-effective test. It is the best-value way to understand the overall chemistry of your water, whether you are chasing a specific nuisance issue (staining, scale, metallic taste) or just want a thorough profile. This panel gives you the full mineral picture in one report.
What it tests for
- Iron and manganese (staining, taste, treatment sizing)
- Hardness, calcium, magnesium, and sodium
- A broad range of trace metals and minerals (35 parameters)
- The chemistry that drives staining, scale, and corrosion
Why it matters
Most everyday well-water complaints - rust stains, scale buildup, metallic taste, ruined laundry, short appliance life - trace back to specific metals and minerals, and you cannot size the right treatment without knowing which ones and how much. A broad panel turns guesswork into a clear plan, and it often surfaces issues a basic test never would.
Who it is for: Best for well owners dealing with staining, scale, metallic taste, or appliance wear, and anyone who wants a broad chemistry profile without ordering many single tests. A strong companion to a bacteria test for an all-around picture of safety and quality.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 35-parameter panel actually cover?
- It scans a broad set of dissolved metals and minerals - including iron, manganese, calcium, magnesium, sodium, hardness, and a range of trace metals - that affect water taste, staining, scale, and appliance life.
- Will this tell me why my water stains or tastes metallic?
- Usually yes. Staining and metallic taste are most often caused by iron and manganese, both included in the panel. Knowing the exact levels lets you choose and size the right treatment.
- Does this replace a bacteria test?
- No. This panel covers chemistry, not bacteria. For a full picture of both safety and quality, pair it with a bacteria test or choose one of the combined annual panels.
