Act now
Interpretation happens in the browser for the MVP experience. It now shows both the general reference used for a quick read and a state-overlay note so users can see where formal local follow-up may differ.
What the entered values suggest
How to read this: the colored status is a general triage signal, the provenance line shows the reference used for that call, and the state overlay line explains where local documentation or timing expectations may matter.
Act now
High nitrate
12mg/L
This is a significant health concern, especially for infants and pregnancy. Use a certified lab follow-up and consider an alternate drinking source until clarified.
General reference: General reference used here: nitrate at or above 10 mg/L.
Provenance: General reference check, shown inline for transparency.
State overlay: State overlay: national baseline only; confirm your state or county requirements before acting on formal or legal questions.
Confidence and scope: High confidence for triage; still confirm exact state sampling and reporting instructions before formal use.
Routine
Arsenic looks in range
4ug/L
Arsenic does not appear elevated by this general reference check.
General reference: General reference used here: arsenic above 10 ug/L, with a closer-watch zone above 5 ug/L.
Provenance: General reference check, not a treatment prescription.
State overlay: State overlay: national baseline only; confirm your state or county requirements before acting on formal or legal questions.
Confidence and scope: Moderate confidence for triage; confirm any property or family-health-sensitive result with a certified lab path.
Retest soon
pH is outside the common range
6.2reported
pH can affect corrosivity, treatment choices, and metal leaching risk.
General reference: General benchmark used here: pH outside 6.5 to 8.5.
Provenance: General benchmark check.
State overlay: State overlay: national baseline only; confirm your state or county requirements before acting on formal or legal questions.
Confidence and scope: Moderate confidence for triage; pH is most useful when paired with metals and nuisance symptoms.
Retest soon
Iron may explain staining or taste issues
410ug/L
Iron is often a nuisance issue rather than an acute health issue, but it can drive staining, taste, and treatment needs.
General reference: General nuisance benchmark used here: iron above 300 ug/L.
Provenance: General nuisance reference check.
State overlay: State overlay: national baseline only; confirm your state or county requirements before acting on formal or legal questions.
Confidence and scope: High confidence for nuisance triage; low confidence for any treatment recommendation without a fuller panel.
Important: Bacterial indicators, infant-risk contaminants, or legally sensitive results should be confirmed with official lab instructions and qualified local professionals.
What to do next
Confirm the urgent item with a stronger lab path before treatment shopping.
