Unless she had a complete inorganic water lab with her, there is no way she could tell you what was wrong with your water. Period.
I remember talking to one of these idiots that left a pill bottle sized sample bottle to "test" your water for various things. I looked it, I looked at them and told them point blank who I worked for and in what department I worked (I signed drinking water reports for water testing facilities). They scuttled off with their tail between their legs.
This is the procedure you must follow in order to take a drinking water sample for testing in Ontario. http://www.ontario.ca/drinkingwater/132586.pdf
It normally involves precleaned 1-2 litre bottles from a certified lab. Anything else is bullshit. You should call her up and charge her for the 2 hours of time you can never get back.
