Water Analysis

Water Analysis is very important to understand. Have your water analyzed. And, not by a salesman!

Unlike most companies, we at Pure North Water Quality are very fortunate to have access to a laboratory for water testing and analysis. Furthermore, we are able to draw on the wisdom of many years of water treatment experience and knowledge from key personnel within the water treatment industry.

If we do not have an answer or solution, we will find it through our network. Most water out there is quite common to diagnose, however, if you have difficult water, a laboratory analysis of your water is required and very helpful. It could be the difference of your hard earned dollars being wasted on unsatisfactory equipment.
You would be amazed at the amount of money people spend on water treatment equipment with the end result of still having problem water. You would also be amazed how many people with very difficult water, purchase equipment from box stores or other places at cheap prices expecting great results. Be informed before you purchase and have any water treatment equipment installed. Unfortunately, water treatment costs money. Spend your money once and do it right.

Just to be clear, all water is not created equal.

City water is different than rural water. Wells on the same street can have differing water challenges. I cannot state it more clearly, have your water analyzed by a knowledgeable person within the water treatment industry. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hestitate to contact us.

This analysis does not cover microbiological analysis and as such the recommendations assume the water is microbiologically safe unless otherwise notified. This analysis is not detailed enough for “Potability” determination. Additional testing would be required for potability assessment. This analysis is intended for treatment technology determination.

Concentrations are reported in milligrams per litre unless otherwise stated.

MCL is the Maximum Contaminant Level listed for either health (MAC), objective (OG) or aesthetic (AO) reasons.

Other Analytical testing available on request at additional cost.
