3-Step Comprehensive Testing
We prioritize your health and safety by ensuring that your water is thoroughly tested and treated. Our comprehensive 3-step water testing service guarantees that your drinking water meets the highest standards of quality and safety.
1. Physical Test:
Assessing clarity, color, and odor.
2. Chemical Test:
Analyzing pH levels, dissolved solids, and contaminants.
3. Microbiological Test:
Checking for bacteria, viruses, and pathogens.
Why Test Your Water?
Identify Harmful Substances
​Water from boreholes, rainwater tanks, and other off-grid sources can contain various contaminants, including bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and heavy metals. Regular testing helps identify these harmful substances before they pose a risk to your health:
Iron
Iron is necessary in water, however in excess can cause Hemochromatosis and liver damage. Refer SANS 241 for Max levels recommended.
High Manganese
High Manganese can affect the Nervous System and is related to a disease called Manganism (similar to Parkinson’s). Refer SANS 241 for Max levels recommended.
Nitrate
Can be harmful to young infants or young livestock. Excessive nitrate can result in restriction of oxygen transport in the bloodstream. (Blue baby syndrome) Refer SANS 241 for Max levels recommended.
Chloride
Too much chloride: has the following health concerns: High blood pressure Increased kidney disease risk Increased heart disease risk Water retention and swelling. Refer SANS 241 for Max levels recommended.
Bacteria
High levels of Bacteria in water can cause a variety of illnesses including gastroenteritis, typhoid, dysentery, cholera, and hepatitis. Refer SANS 241 for Max levels recommended
Heavy Metals
Exposure to heavy metals has been linked to chronic and acute toxicity, which develops retardation; neurotoxicity can damage the kidneys. Refer SANS 241 for Max levels recommended.
Total Suspended Solids
Can harbor harmful bacteria and affect the taste of the water. Refer SANS 241 for Max levels recommended
Hardness
Water hardness can cause scale and corrosion on pipes if not in the right balance with other elements such as pH, alkalinity and TDS impacting the lifespan on equipment. Refer SANS 241 for Max levels recommended.
Turbidity
Higher turbidity levels are often associated with higher levels of disease-causingmicroorganisms such as viruses, parasites and some bacteria. These organisms cancause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. ReferSANS 241 for Max levels recommended.
