Description

This laboratory test will check for pH in your water sample.

The pH scale is the measure of acidity or alkalinity ranging from 0 to 14. The pH of tap water should be in the range of 6.5 to 9.5, which is around neutral and close to alkaline. Acidic water can be corrosive to metals, especially the lead in lead piping. It is important to control the pH of water as a too high or too low pH can be an indicator of other problems in the water. If the pH is too high, then a desinfectant can not work properly, which increases the possibility of the presence of bacteria. Tap water should have a pH of 6.5 to 9.5, rain water can have a pH < 5. Pure water should have a pH of approx 7.

Arranging a laboratory analysis is very easy and our service includes everything required to carry out this analysis.

  • Certified laboratory results in 5 easy steps

(*The laboratory has been accredited by UKAS for various bacteria analysis of potable as well as water from spa & pool.)

Please note:

  • We require a full water sample to be able to perform the tests. Refunds will not be offered where minimum volume of the sample requirements are not met.
  • Water samples must be taken the same day they are collected (this is vital for accurate analysis). Any results received outside of the specified holding time will receive a comment on the report to state the results could be compromised. Samples can be taken and posted Monday to Thursday. (For customers from outer Hebrides, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man and Cornwall: please check in advance to ensure overnight delivery is available in your area, refunds can not be given where services are not available).
  • If you are planning to have more than 1 sample analysed, then all samples need to be taken and shipped to us for analysis at the same time. If you are planning on taking the samples at different times and/or places, then please place separate orders so that we can supply the correct amount of insulated packaging and pre-paid postage labels.
  • This product requires insulated packaging to prevent the bacterial levels from changing in the post, the insulated packaging is therefore mandatory. Where the insulated packaging includes ice-packs then these need to be frozen the day before the sample is taken and shipped to us with the sample.
  • Do not mix more than one sample per bottle; please ensure one sample bottle is used per sample outlet.
  • This service is only available for UK customers. If you are looking to place an order from another country, please do contact us.
  • Failure to comply with the requirements for sample collection might result in a failed analysis of your water sample. We can not refund orders where instructions have not been followed.
