Water Chemical Analysis

The Laboratory performs various types of water analysis, formulating customised analytical proposals adapted to the needs of our customers, which differ according to the type of water treated, its intended use and its specific identity.

If necessary, our specialised personnel also carry out preliminary inspections and sampling activities.

 

Below is a list of the different analysis proposed according to the type of water to be examined.

Water intended for human consumption

Concern water intended for human consumption, we look for the analytical parameters required under D.Lgs 31/01 as amended:

  • Conductivity;
  • pH;
  • Total Hardness;
  • Dry Residue at 180°C;
  • Free active chlorine;
  • Turbidity;
  • Oxidability;
  • Alkalinity;
  • Anions: Chlorides, Fluorides, Nitrates, Nitritis and Sulfates;
  • Cyanides;
  • Heavy Metals: Alluminium, Antimony, Arsenic, Boron, Cadmium, Chromium, Iron, Manganese, Mercury, Nickel, Lead, Copper, Selenium, Vanadium

  • Acute Toxicity test.
Pool Water

Regard to pool water analysis, we follow the parameters indicated in the national agreement 16/01/2003 as amended:

  • Temperature;
  • pH;
  • Suspended solids;
  • Colour;
  • Free active Chlorine;
  • Combined active chlorine;
  • Organic substances, Permanganate analysis;
  • Turbidity;
  • Gross Solids;
  • Isocyanuric acid;
  • Nitritis;

Water for irrigation use

In the analysis of water for irrigation use, we further investigate the following parameters:

  • Temperature;
  • pH;
  • Hardness;
  • Salinity;
  • Dry Residue;
