There are three types of water analysis

Basic 
Done by Aldgate Pump Sales & Service

A basic test done in store, suitable for non-potable water. We test for: pH, TDS, Electrical Conductivity, Iron and Hardness. This test is perfect for ground water analysis. If irregularities are shown, further chemical testing may be required. If there is any chance of human consumption, chemical and biological testing should be performed.

Chemical

A laboratory chemical test will give a detailed analysis including pH, Hardness, Iron, Copper, Chlorides, Sulphates, Lead, Sodium, Electrical Conductivity and more. This test is for potable (drinking) water. Samples may need to be collected in specific bottles for testing depending on the agency. Aldgate Pumps do not do this type of testing. See below for a recommendation. 

Biological

A laboratory biological test will test for the presence of coliforms and bacteria including Ecoli. Samples must be taken in a specific bottle and reach the laboratory within 24 hours of sample taken. Contact your local water testing laboratory for more information. Please note: If the water is for drinking (potable) purpose, then a biological analysis should be undertaken. Aldgate Pumps do not do this type of testing. See below for a recommendation.
