What does water analysis measure?
The water quality test is a quick examination that provides a comprehensive overview of your water quality by measuring a variety of parameters:
- PH value:Indicates whether the water is acidic or alkaline - a balanced pH value is crucial for the quality of drinking water.
- Hydrogen sulfide:The presence of hydrogen sulfide can negatively affect the taste and odor of water, so its measurement is important for pleasant water consumption.
- Metals in water:Metals such as cadmium, cobalt, mercury, nickel, and zinc are analyzed during the test. Elevated levels can be harmful, so monitoring them is important to avoid health risks.
- Free chlorine:Ensures that the water is sufficiently disinfected to protect against harmful microorganisms.
- Bacteria:Tests for coliform bacteria, including E. coli, which indicate potential contamination and health hazards.
- Chloride:Monitored to prevent pipe corrosion and potential health problems.
Nitrates and nitrites:Are monitored to avoid excessive exposure, which can be harmful, especially for infants and young children. - Iron:Affects the color and taste of the water and can stain laundry and porcelain.
- Copper:Monitored to avoid toxicity and taste problems in the water.
- Sulfate:If this value is not controlled, it can lead to impaired taste and body functions.
- Total chlorine:Measures the total chlorine content and is important for effective water disinfection.
