Yes, our reports will indicate suitability of use or whether treatment is required.
The Importance of potable and borehole water testing
The World Health Organisation suggest that water for household use from unregulated water sources (e.g., private boreholes), should be submitted for a comprehensive water analysis atleast once a year. However, more frequent testing may be necessary in certain circumstances, such as following extreme weather events, changes in water taste or odor, or if there are known sources of contamination nearby.
IS MY WATER SAFE TO DRINK?
Determining whether your water is safe to drink depends on various factors such as its source, treatment process, and local regulations. It's advisable to invest in the aquatico water quality testing kit for a comprehensive analysis if you have any doubts about the safety of your drinking water.
WHY SHOULD I TEST MY BOREHOLE WATER?
Health concerns: Borehole water may contain various contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, or chemicals that can pose serious health risks if consumed. Testing helps identify these contaminants and ensures that the water is safe for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
Protection of appliances and plumbing: Contaminants in water can also damage household appliances such as water heaters, washing machines, and plumbing fixtures. Testing helps prevent costly repairs or replacements due to water-related damage.
Peace of mind: Regular testing provides homeowners with peace of mind knowing that their water is safe for consumption and other household uses. It helps build confidence in the quality of water used by the household.
Testing borehole water is an essential step in ensuring the health and safety of your household and the environment. It allows for early detection of any issues and facilitates appropriate measures to address them effectively.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF REGULAR TESTING?
Ensures Drinking Water Safety: Potable water analysis helps ensure that the water you consume meets regulatory standards and is safe for drinking. It identifies potential contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and chemicals that may pose health risks if present above allowable limits.
Protects Family Health: By identifying and addressing potential contaminants, regular water analysis helps protect public health by reducing the risk of waterborne diseases and illnesses. It enables authorities to take necessary actions to maintain or improve water quality.
Early Detection of Problems: Regular analysis allows for the early detection of water quality issues, enabling prompt corrective actions to be taken before they escalate. This proactive approach helps prevent water-related health emergencies and ensures the continuous supply of safe drinking water.
