Water Testing - Make Sure the Quality of Water is Healthy and Right For Your Family

Water evaluation is the practice of testing the water to ensure it is free of contaminants that may cause harm. The testing includes checking water for a wide range of substances like pH, inorganic compounds (nitrates, chlorine, sodium, iron etc.), coliform bacteria, TDS, sulphate and so on.
It is vital to have water profiling done before you buy a home because you cannot, most of the times (although not always), taste or smell the contamination in your water. Other reasons include:

·                     Existence of livestock facilities, fertilizer storage etc. near the area of water supply
·                     Corrosion of pipes
·                     Discoloration of the water at high levels
·                     Laundry problems
·                     Ugly hard water stains
·                     You are buying a house and want the entire water system to be tested
·                     Proximity of the house to a chemical plant, factory, gas station
·                     Private water system
·                  If a family member has recurring gastrointestinal diseases, is pregnant or lactating or there is an  infant



Consult your county or cooperative extension agent or local environmental health sanitarian to find out which chemicals to test for in the water and find experts to do it. If you want to do it yourself, purchase water hardness testing kits from the market. Federal or state law ensures that the public water system is tested regularly. Private labs, county and State Health Laboratories, departments of health and so on are water evaluation service providers. Check whether they are authorized by the state health department before hiring their services.



Installation of a Water Treatment System and carbon filters, conducting required repairs to protect water supply, disinfecting water supply through chlorination, are some solutions to problems found after water testing. By doing water testing in the property that you are considering to buy, you can be sure of the quality of water supply. It also safeguards you from buying property in an area where water supply is not good.

Salt Spray And Rohs Compliance Testing: Sigmatest

Often when we talk about air pollution we talk about various gases and compounds, but what we should really be talking about is how they combine together. For instance if there is CO2 from a smokestack, and there is also sulfur in the air, and other pollutants they form and make additional compounds. Some of these compounds might combine with organic matter and the moisture in the air. The amount of heat, sunlight, and static in the air also make a difference. We can prove this in a lab. Salt Spray Testing Lab provides everyone with a salt spray test, used to check corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings. Complying with the developing environmental legislation within the electronics industry has become increasingly difficult, especially within the last few years. As environmental legislation changes, having up-to-date information is like trying to successfully shoot a moving target.   As more re...

How Environmental Testing Ensures Product Reliability

Image
A number of design engineers create and design a good product that works great during the initial phase of development and testing. Unfortunately, this doesn't guarantee that once the product goes into mass production, most of them are still able to function properly after using them for a long time. So how do manufacturers know whether their merchandise has high quality and are reliable when used for a certain amount of time under different environmental conditions? The best way for manufacturers and engineers to ensure product reliability is through environmental testing. What Is Environmental Testing? Environmental Testing is done to assess the product's response to the physical and climactic risks that may happen throughout its operational life. This testing method helps recognize the good's compliance, analyze and resolve damage issues, and assure the product's reliability and durability. This testing method involves accelerating the aging process of th...

Value Of Ensuring Quality At Labs And How It Is Attained

Image
There is a World Accreditation Day celebrated all over the world on June 9 which is celebrated to raise awareness for the importance of accreditation. In short, this day celebrates the assurance of adhering to international standards and maintaining quality for calibration and laboratory testing. It is important to understand that specific day are created to ascertain a sense of importance for that particular subject. In the case of accreditation, it is important to understand that it is through accreditation that quality is maintained. Laboratory tests have a large impact on our daily life, for example, health care, safe drinking water, food, and environment monitoring, energy and mineral processes, etc. Everything relies on laboratory results for many important decisions and accreditation increases the confidence of the public in the test results. The crucial assessment process The competence of a laboratory is assured through an assessment process and testing program...
