Take a 2 liter sample of the well water into any where that deals with commercial water systems & they should be able to send it out for testing.

+1 and the government labs are required to test your water, but only for pathogens,E-coli,etc. the phone book will have Water/soil testing labs in your area.

a booster pump will also be needed on the well to get the ro to run properly.

Even with a booster pump our well is so cold we get slow water production.
