WATER TESTING
Once you have decided to invest in drilling a bore, testing the water is an essential first step to sourcing the best outcome. Puredrop Desalination prefers to run water tests with ALS in Melbourne.
ALS provide independent and concise water test reports. This will enable us to recommend the most effective Desalination Unit for your needs.
Complete the attached form and include a cheque for $226+gst for a Puredrop test or $249.25+gst for a Puredrop and the Dissolved Iron Test.
Analysis takes approximately one week and results sent to you and Puredrop.
What you need to do
1. Rinse a clean plastic water bottle (preferably a bottle having only
ever held still water) three or four times with the water you want
analysed.
2. Your bore must have been pumped for a minimum of 20 hours in its
lifetime.
3. When collecting the water sample, run the bore for 20 minutes first
(before rinsing) to clear any sediment or other potential contaminants
from pipes and taps. Fill the bottle to the top (minimum 600ml) seal
the bottle firmly and check that it does not leak. It is advisable to
secure the seal with strong packing tape to prevent leakage during
transit. Label it using a permanent marker with your name, email and
phone number and ‘PUREDROP’.
4. Complete ALS Water Chain of Custody form. ALS will share test
report results with Puredrop.
5. Package COC form and bottle, then post to ALS 22 Dalmore Drive
Scoresby VIC 3179.
6. Call Alicia 0439 691 767 or Luke 0407 680 827 if you need any
assistance.
