STANDARD WATER TEST

This standard testing package covers all the major cations, anions, and physical characteristics and volatile organic chemicals that are important in determining what water treatment option will work the best given the water quality.

This water test includes:

Twenty-nine (29) metals and minerals, seven (7) other inorganic compounds, eight (8) physical characteristics, fifty-four (54) volatile organic chemicals (VOC's), and nine (9) disinfection by-products.

• 29 Metals & Minerals
• 7 Inorganic Compounds
• 8 General Characteristics
• 54 VOC's
• 9 DISINFECTION BY-PRODUCTS

• This group of analytes includes many elements from the periodic table. While many of these contaminants can be naturally occurring in the environment, others can be introduced into the water from industrial activities and other human influences activities.

• Inorganic compounds can be naturally occurring in water, based upon the localized geological formations. However, many inorganic compounds end up in the water due to agricultural activities and in the case of fluoride may be purposefully added to the water.
