Water Suite 27-in-1 Well & Ground Water (Laboratory Test)

Description

This is our most comprehensive laboratory test and checks 27 elements in water:

Chemical analysis: Alkalinity, Aluminium, Ammonia, Calcium, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Free & Total Chlorine, Chloride, Colour, Conductivity, Copper, Total Hardness, Iron, Lead, Magnesium, Manganese, Nitrate, Nitrogen Dioxide, Odour, pH, Turbidity, Potassium, Sodium and Zinc. Bacteria analysis: Coliform / E.coli, Total Viable Count (TVC)

This suite of tests has been put together to determine the overall potability of a water supply, such as a well or borehole. It is a suitable check to see if water can be used as Drinking Water (potable water) and to see if there are any problems. It can be used for well, ground, tap, borehole as well as spring water. Although it is not a full private water supply analysis – it is a good general check to see if there are any problems with common elements.
