Well Water Analysis

At MassLab, we offer comprehensive well water analysis services to ensure that water extracted from wells meets stringent quality, safety, and health standards. Well water, sourced from underground, can be used for drinking, irrigation, or industrial applications. However, because well water is naturally exposed to minerals and potential microbial contaminants, regular analysis is essential to guarantee that the water remains safe and healthy.

Importance of Well Water Analysis

Well water is susceptible to both chemical and microbiological contamination. Regular analysis is crucial to determine whether the water is suitable for drinking or agricultural purposes. Factors such as the presence of heavy metals, pesticide residues, bacteria, and viruses can greatly affect the water’s suitability. At MassLab, our comprehensive testing ensures that your well water is free from harmful contaminants and meets all necessary safety and quality standards.

Scope of Well Water Analysis Services

Microbiological Analyses

• Purpose:
  Detect harmful microorganisms, including E. coli, coliform bacteria, Salmonella, and other pathogens.
• Significance:
  Verifies that the well water is microbiologically safe and suitable for consumption or agricultural use.

Physico-Chemical Analyses

• Purpose:
  Measure parameters such as pH, conductivity, hardness, nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, and total dissolved solids (TDS).
• Significance:
  Determines whether the water meets the required standards for its intended use.

Heavy Metal Analyses

• Purpose:
  Identify and quantify heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium.
• Significance:
  Ensures that the water is free from toxic heavy metals, particularly important for drinking water safety.

Pesticide and Chemical Residue Analyses

• Purpose:
  Detect residues of pesticides, herbicides, and other chemical contaminants.
• Significance:
  Confirms that the water is clean and safe, especially in areas near agricultural activities.

Organic and Inorganic Contaminant Analyses

• Purpose:
  Assess the levels of organic and inorganic substances (e.g., carbon, sulfates, chlorides) to evaluate overall water purity.
• Significance:
  Provides insight into the contamination levels and overall cleanliness of the water.

Ion and Mineral Analyses

• Purpose:
  Measure essential ions and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium.
• Significance:
  Evaluates the mineral composition of the water, which can affect both its taste and its suitability for various uses.

Color, Odor, and Turbidity Tests

• Purpose:
  Assess the visual and sensory characteristics of the water.
• Significance:
  Ensures that the water is clear, odorless, and visually acceptable.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Test

• Purpose:
  Measure the total amount of dissolved solids in the water.
• Significance:
  Indicates the overall purity of the water and its suitability for drinking or irrigation purposes.
