Water Quality Testing
At Plumbscan we offer a free service to you to determine the quality of your water. This is important to us as our aim is to ensure everyone has a good water supply.
Poor water quality can cause:
- Blocking of plumbing fixtures due to inorganic calcium being deposited
- Decreased ability to effectively wash clothing
- Staining of sinks and baths
- Blocking of water pipes carrying water to the home and in hot water systems
- Bodily contamination with heavy metals and other toxins that affect health
- Water to be undrinkable when it becomes smelly and salty
Why may water be of poor quality?
It would be nice to live in a world in which we could trust the quality of our water. It is, after all, essential to life on our planet. Unfortunately, we live in a polluted world, which unintentionally or not, results in a lower quality of water.
Sources of the contamination can come from:
- Industrial waste water
- Personal care products washed down drains
- Sewerage spills
- Mineral springs
- Salt used as anti-skid protection on roads
- Use of pesticides and herbicides in the garden that run off into suburban stormwater drains
- Large downpours of rain, which flushes products used in large scale farming, into the water system
What is tested?
Our free water quality tests will look for two things:
- How acidic or alkaline the water is, determined through the use of a pH monitor.
- The amount of total dissolved solid in the water (TDS). This determines the general quality of the water and the level of contaminants, such as sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, bicarbonates, sulphates, and chlorides, and accumulation of heavy ions, such as arsenic, aluminium, copper, and lead. It also determines levels of organic matter.
Plumbscan would like to offer this service to you as a gift so you can have a safe, clean water supply that makes life that little bit easier, financially, physically and emotionally.
