Match each result to its unit before comparing it with a limit.
Flag bacteria, nitrate over 10 mg/L as nitrogen, arsenic over 10 ppb, and lead detections before aesthetic issues.
Use trends over time, not one isolated test, for maintenance issues like hardness, pH, iron, and manganese.
Save the lab report, treatment notes, and retest dates so future results are easier to interpret.
