Water analysis
Water is literally the basis for all life on this
planet. You and your family depend on water for every
single aspect of your life, from drinking to cleaning to
even watering your plants; it all comes down to water.
Indeed, if you follow the general maxim that you should
drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, you will likely
always have a water bottle by your side or nearby. That
is why you are so concerned that your water is safe, and
rightfully so.
Why should you
conduct a water analysis test?
The obvious reason for getting your water tested is that
it plays such an important part in the health of you and
your family. You and your family rely on water so much
that it pays to be sure it is safe. And unfortunately,
with water you will not be able to tell if it is safe
just by looking at it or tasting it. Your water could
seem exceptionally clear, without odor, and taste
wonderful, and still have dangerous level of
contaminants, such as microbial pollutants and organic
or inorganic chemical pollutants.
Municipal
water
If you get your water from your municipality, it will
have been tested once before with a thorough water
analysis at the water treatment facility. But sometimes
that is not enough. Trusting the testing done at a water
treatment facility does not leave room for human error.
Nor does trusting the testing done at a water treatment
facility account for the myriad ways the water could
become contaminated between the treatment facility and
your faucet. Faults or weaknesses in the water
infrastructure could be letting contaminates into the
system. The only way to be sure that your water is safe
is to conduct a water analysis at the point of use.
Well water
Performing a regular water analysis is especially
important if you rely on a private well for your
family’s water needs. While you likely conduct a
thorough water analysis when you first installed the
well, contaminants can seep into the well over time
without you being aware of the change.
How do you
conduct a water analysis?
Relative to its importance, conducting a water analysis
is actually quite simple. A testing kit will come with a
series of small plastic bottles. All that you are
usually required to do is fill the plastic bottles with
water sample from your tap and return them to the
company that is doing the water testing. At that point,
you just need to sit back and wait for the water
analysis results to be returned. It really is as simple
as that to perform a water analysis. If you are
performing a water analysis for the first time, it is
best to get a basic test. If something is flagged as
worrisome on your basic test, then you can move up to
more expensive, specialized tests. If your general water
analysis test comes back okay, then you will know that
your drinking water is safe.
