Why to Test Water?
Testing the water quality on a regular basis is an important part of maintaining a safe and reliable source. The test results allow you to properly address the specific problems of a water supply. This will help ensure that the water source is being properly protected from potential contamination, and that appropriate treatment is selected and operating properly.
It is important to test the suitability of your water quality for its intended use, whether it could be livestock watering, chemical spraying or drinking water. This will assist you in making informed decisions about your water and how you use it.
