Private Well Water Test Log
See how a private supply changes over years rather than judging it from one test, and keep the maintenance record alongside the results.

A free printable borehole record sheet — meter reading, pump hours, pressure, tank level and treatment status each check, plus lamp and cartridge changes.
2 pages. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

See what a private water supply is actually doing between samples, so a rising meter, a falling pressure or a lamp past its change date is caught from the log rather than from a dry tap.
Households, farms and small sites on a borehole, well or spring supply, and anyone who looks after one on someone else's behalf.
2 pages, in this order:
Printed under the title: A borehole, well or spring supply as a working system — what the meter and the pump are doing, how full the tank is, and whether the treatment is running — one row per check.
The supply, not the sample. Sample results belong on the Well Water Test Log. This sheet is the supply itself — volume drawn, pump, pressure, tank and treatment — because a run of meter readings shows a leak or a failing pump long before a test would.
Write-on lines: Supply / property · Source ref · Pump make & model · Tank capacity · Treatment fitted
Table, 3 rows: Date · Item replaced · Part / lamp ref · Hours or reading at change · Next due (supplier's figure) · By
Table, 28 rows: Date · Meter reading · Used since last · Pump hours · Pressure gauge · Tank level · Treatment running · Taste / odour / colour · Initials
Because it depends on the lamp, the cartridge and your water, and only the supplier's own data gives the right figure. The consumables table has a column for the next change date so you write that in from their guidance.
That sheet records what a sample showed. This one records the supply as a system — how much it draws, how the pump and pressure behave, and whether the treatment is working — which is what fails first and what a test only confirms later.

Keep a softener actually working, rather than discovering months later that it ran out of salt and the limescale came back.
Stop measuring a clogged filter in a dark loft. Write the size down the first time, then reorder without taking the old one out.
Answer the two questions that always follow a septic problem: when was it last emptied, and by whom.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
