Water Analysis:

Water testing is of paramount importance to ensure the safety and quality of different water sources. In our laboratory, we offer testing services for a variety of water products, including borehole water, drinking water, environmental water, and bottled water.

The following tests are conducted to assess the water’s quality:

  • Total coliform bacteria testing (SANS 5221): Identifies the presence of coliform bacteria, which are indicators of potential contamination and a measure of overall water quality.
  • Faecal coliform bacteria testing (SANS 5221): Determines the presence of coliform bacteria specifically associated with faecal contamination, indicating potential health risks.
  • Escherichia coli (E. coli) testing (SANS 5221): Detects the presence of E. coli, a specific indicator of faecal contamination and potential pathogenic bacteria in water.
  • Standard (heterotrophic) Plate Count (SANS 5221): Measures the total number of viable bacteria in the water sample, providing insight into the overall microbial load and water quality.
