Tank Water Analysis

At MassLab, we provide extensive stored water analysis services to ensure that water stored in reservoirs for drinking, industrial, or fire-fighting purposes meets strict quality, safety, and health standards. Regular analysis of stored water is essential to guarantee that it remains clean, safe, and fit for its intended use.

Importance of Stored Water Analysis

When water is stored over long periods, it can be susceptible to microbiological contamination and chemical changes that may compromise its suitability for consumption or industrial use. Regular testing helps to:

• Ensure Potability and Safety: Confirm that the water is free from contaminants and meets health standards.
• Maintain Process Efficiency: Ensure that water used in industrial, agricultural, or fire-fighting processes is of high quality.
• Protect Public Health: Identify and mitigate any potential health risks associated with chemical, physical, or microbial contaminants.

Scope of Stored Water Analysis Services

Physico-Chemical Analyses

• Parameters Measured:
  pH, conductivity, hardness, chloride, nitrate levels, and total dissolved solids (TDS).
• Purpose:
  To determine whether the water’s physical and chemical properties meet the required standards for its intended use.

Microbiological Analyses

• Parameters Measured:
  Detection of bacteria (e.g., coliforms, E. coli), viruses, and fungi.
• Purpose:
  To ensure that the water is microbiologically safe and free from harmful pathogens.

Heavy Metal Analyses

• Parameters Measured:
  Concentrations of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury.
• Purpose:
