Water analysis is an important process in which physical, chemical and biological aspects are analyzed to assess water quality. Here are the main factors we check:

• Hardness. Hardness depends on the amount of minerals in water (calcium, magnesium, etc.). When it’s high, you may experience issues like scale buildup in pipes and appliances, which can reduce their lifespan.

Effective solution – based on water testing results, specialists may offer to install softening appliances.

0–3 gpg (grains per gallon) – soft

3.5–7 gpg – moderately hard

7.5 gpg – hard

• Iron. The concentration is usually less than 0.3 mg/litre

Even in low amounts, this element can lead to discoloration and staining of fixtures, laundry, and plumbing. Furthermore, you might notice a change in the flavour and scent of your water.

Effective solution – filtration systems.

• pH. A safe range is 6.5–8.5. A low or high pH indicates heavy metal or chemical pollution.

This index is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity. Extreme levels can indicate corrosiveness or scaling potential in water. As a result, you may face issues affecting plumbing and appliances. Analysis with the help of reliable water tester tools eliminates the problem.

Effective solution – neutralization equipment, such as chemical feeders or pH adjustment systems.

• Copper. The level in drinking water should not exceed 1300 ug/l.

Excess copper can be harmful to human health, causing liver damage, stomach cramps, nausea, kidney disease, and headaches. It can also lead to blue-green staining of fixtures and surfaces.

Effective solution – filtration, reverse osmosis, or ion exchange.

Poor water quality can pose significant risks, from chronic health conditions to waterborne diseases. That is why it is essential to conduct checks once a year. However, if you notice staining, cloudiness, dry skin, sediment, or other signs mentioned above, you may need an immediate water test outside the schedule to avoid risks.
