We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the water test procedure?

This set of tests generally conducted on site includes analysis of turbidity, pH, and EC value to assess physical properties of water. Chemical tests provide assessment of total hardness (CacO3), fluorides (F), nitrate (NO3), alkalinity and Iron (Fe).

How is a water sample collected?

Collection of a water sample will typically involve use of a sterile screw cap bottle that has been pre-treated with sodium thiosulphate (sodium thiosulphate will remove any chlorine residual that may be in the water sample).

What is the procedure for water sampling?

Wear gloves and eye protection when collecting samples. Rinse the bottle and cap three times with sample water and fill the bottle to within one to two inches from the top. Place the sample into a cooler with ice for immediate delivery or shipment to the laboratory. Sterile 125 or 150 mL plastic bottles must be used.

What does water sampling test for?

Parameters that may be tested include temperature, pH, turbidity, salinity, nitrates and phosphates. Drinking water can come from different sources depending on where we live in the world.

WHO guidelines for water sampling?

What are the three types of water testing?

These water quality testing parameters are divided into three categories; physical, biological and chemical.

What are the main two methods of water sampling strategies?

The two types of water samples typically taken are grab samples and composite samples. Grab samples are usually taken when you want information specific to a particular sampling location, time or distinct areas within a sampling location.

What are the methods of testing water sample?

Several methods can be used for water sample testing, including chromatography, spectroscopy, filtration, gravimetric analysis and titration. The most appropriate way will depend on the type of information required.
