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 run water tests with ALS in Melbourne.
They provide independent and concise water test reports. The results will allow us to recommend the most effective Desalination Unit setup.
Analysis takes approximately one week and results sent to you and Puredrop Desalination.
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 used for 20 hours (min) 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.
4. Fill the bottle with 1 litre (min) of water, seal the bottle firmly and check that it does not leak. It is advisable to seal with strong packing tape to prevent leakage during transit.
5. Use a permanent marker to label the bottle with your name, email and phone number and ‘PUREDROP’.
6. Download and complete the ALS Water Chain of Custody Form.
7. Clearly mark if you require a standard ‘Puredrop’ Test or to include a ‘Dissolved Iron Test’, along with your full contact details.
8. Package the ‘Chain of Custody’ form and bottle, then post to –
