Superior Laboratories, Inc., is an authorized testing agency: 
1. Ohio EPA Water Approval No. 890
2. USDA Accreditation Number 3983

The last test results were above the acceptable standard for drinking water. 
Specifically, our test results were as follows .. keep in mind the following three points:
1. When a Hydrosol leaves the still it will be sterile. Only improper handling or storage ..or adulteration with water that was not distilled can contaminate a Hydrosol.
2. The Ohio State standard for bottled drinking water is Plate Count of bacteria no higher than 500 parts per million in 100 ml of pure water.

Hydrosols are shipped in Food Industry Approved plastic jugs.

For long term storage, Hydrosols should be transferred to sterile glass containers with sterile caps. To avoid contamination we should NOT touch bottle rims, or inside bottle caps with fingers, or pour unused hydrosols back into container. We should avoid direct sunlight and avoid extreme heat for long periods of 
time. Refrigeration can assist in extending shelf life of hydrosols.
