GROUNDWATER TESTING
- Run the water source for +/- 5 minutes (or until the pipeline is clear) before sampling to ensure the sample is representative of the source.
- The sample should be from the groundwater source, not from the tank, to give an accurate result.
- Use a sterilised container (rinse with boiling water beforehand), to take a sample of about 1 litre of water from your borehole or well-point.
- Send the sample off to a lab for analysis - read below for a list of recommended SANAS accredited labs.
- Ensure that the water reaches the lab within 24 hours of being sampled.
- You will need to ask for 2 types of test: Chemical Potability, as well as Microbiology.
- Once you receive the results of your water test, send them through for us to examine!
WATER SAMPLE TESTING
Ground 2 Tap use the services of SANAS accredited, local testing laboratories for all water sample testing.
NB: As of the 6th of March, 2018, it was still possible to have a sample delivered to Bemlab by dropping it at certain Pathcare offices. Please contact your nearest Pathcare for more information.
